Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Thinly slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into long, skinny strips. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Shred the purple cabbage into fine strips to make about 1 cup and add it to the bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Add it to the vegetable mixture.
Finely slice half of a red onion into thin strips and add it to the slaw mix.
Chop the fresh parsley into small pieces and sprinkle it over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is emulsified and smooth.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar depending on your preference.
Refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for burgers, tacos, or sandwiches.
