Thinly slice the green cabbage with a sharp knife or a mandoline to make 3 cups of shredded cabbage. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion into very fine strips and add to the bowl.
Dice the pickled beets into small bite-sized pieces and add to the mixture. Stir gently to combine the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and fold it into the slaw for a pop of freshness.
Allow the slaw to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or use as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.
