Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips and add them to the bowl.
Peel and julienne or grate the carrot, then add it to the mixture.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it into the bowl with the vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (1/3 cup), apple cider vinegar (2 tablespoons), honey (1 tablespoon), Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon) to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or black pepper to preference.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
