Peel the cucumber (optional) and cut it into thin rounds or small cubes, then add to the bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-moons. Add to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Gently toss the salad to evenly coat all the ingredients with the dressing.
