Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
Finely dice the zucchini, red bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Aim for uniform, small pieces for a pleasant texture.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork to create a creamy base, leaving some small chunks for texture.
Chop the fresh parsley finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, cherry tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and capers. Mix gently to avoid crushing the vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Add the mashed avocado and the dressing to the vegetable mix. Gently fold everything together until well combined, ensuring the avocado and dressing coat the vegetables evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
Serve immediately by scooping the tartare into a round mold or small bowl for presentation and plating onto serving dishes. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Enjoy as a standalone dish, paired with crackers, or served alongside a green salad.
