Wash and dry all the vegetables thoroughly.
Finely dice the zucchini, cucumber, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to create small, evenly-sized pieces. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop the flesh out. Dice the avocado into small cubes and add it to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the mixture.
Add the capers, lemon juice, and olive oil to the bowl. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together using a spatula or large spoon, ensuring the avocado remains intact and the mixture is evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
To plate, use a round mold or cookie cutter to shape the tartare into neat rounds on each plate. Alternatively, spoon the mixture onto plates and shape it gently by hand.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer or light snack.
