In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, and carrots.
Peel and segment the orange, then cut the segments into small bite-sized pieces. Add them to the mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the vegetables and oranges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together thoroughly until the slaw is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Let the slaw sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. This slaw is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
