Trim the ends of the fennel bulb, remove any tough outer layers, and cut the bulb in half lengthwise. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, thinly slice the fennel into very fine shreds. Add to a large mixing bowl.
Finely shred the green cabbage to measure 2 cups, and add it to the bowl with the fennel.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the fennel, cabbage, carrot, and parsley mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve the fennel coleslaw chilled as a refreshing side dish or use it as a topping for tacos, burgers, or sandwiches.
