Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Dice the cucumbers into small, evenly-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Core and dice the tomatoes into small cubes, draining off any excess liquid before adding them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper, dice it into small pieces, and add it to the bowl.
Finely chop half of a red onion and add it to the salad mixture for a touch of sharp flavor.
Rinse and finely chop the parsley, discarding thick stems. Add the parsley to the bowl for freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
