Cut the green cabbage and red cabbage into quarters, removing the cores. Thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds or use a food processor fitted with a shredding blade. Add the shredded cabbage to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the cabbage and carrots.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Give the coleslaw a final toss before serving and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve chilled.
