Wash the red, yellow, and green bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the tops off the bell peppers, remove the seeds and membranes, and slice the peppers into thin strips.
Peel and thinly slice half of a red onion. Combine the sliced peppers and red onion in a large salad bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy as a fresh, colorful side dish.
