- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired and dice it into small cubes. Add to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper, then chop it into small pieces. Add to the bowl.
Peel and shred the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add them to the bowl.
Finely slice the red onion into thin strips and add it to the mix.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and toss it into the bowl for an herbaceous touch.
In a small jar or bowl, mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Shake or whisk until the dressing is emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything gently until evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
