Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and cut it into thin shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Chop the smoked cheese into small cubes, about 1 cm in size, and add it to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad for a burst of freshness and color.
In a small bowl or jar, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables and cheese are evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Transfer the salad to a serving dish.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to maintain freshness.
