Wash all the vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry.
Dice the cucumber into very small, uniform cubes (about 1/4 inch in size) and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Core and dice the tomatoes to the same size as the cucumber cubes, removing excess seeds and juice to avoid making the mixture watery. Add to the bowl.
Dice the red bell pepper into small cubes and add to the vegetable mixture.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Add to the bowl, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Finely dice the red onion and mix it with the other vegetables in the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and chives finely and sprinkle over the vegetables.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
If using, garnish with microgreens and serve immediately. The tartare can also be chilled for 10-15 minutes for enhanced flavors before serving.
