Wash and pat dry all the vegetables and herbs.
Finely dice the zucchini, carrot, red bell pepper, avocado, and radishes into uniform, small cubes to create a consistent texture.
Coarsely chop the capers, dill, and parsley, and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced vegetables, avocado, chopped capers, dill, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Use a round food ring or a small bowl to shape the tartare on individual serving plates for a professional presentation.
Top with a sprinkle of microgreens, if using, and serve with toasted bread or crackers on the side.
