In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, thawed green peas, chopped red onion, and fresh parsley.

Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables in the large bowl.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until all the vegetables are well coated with the creamy dressing.

Serve the creamy vegetable salad chilled as a refreshing and nutritious vegan dish.
