Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Cut the cheese into small cubes or crumble it, depending on the type of cheese used.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, carrot, red onion, and lettuce.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to ensure everything is coated evenly.
