Wash the cabbage and cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water. Thinly slice the cabbage into strips.

Slice the cucumbers into rounds or half-moons.

Slice the red onion thinly and soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until smooth.

In a large salad bowl, combine the prepared cabbage, cucumbers, drained red onion, and chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to mix.

Drizzle the dressing over the mixed salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes.

Give the salad one last gentle toss before serving.
