Start by washing all fresh produce thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Slice the cucumber lengthwise into quarters and then chop into bite-sized pieces. Transfer them to a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Remove the seeds and stem from the bell pepper, dice it into small pieces, and add it to the salad bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, chop it into cubes, and add to the salad.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley, then add both to the salad bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the salad bowl and gently toss to combine, making sure all ingredients are well-coated.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve the salad as a fresh and crunchy side dish or a light keto-friendly meal.
