Wash and dry all vegetables and herbs before starting.
Peel the cucumber and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Core and dice the tomatoes, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Add these to the mixing bowl with the cucumber.
Finely dice the red onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and basil, reserving a small amount for garnish, and add the rest to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and garnish with the reserved parsley and basil.
Serve chilled as a refreshing starter or side dish.
