Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut each cucumber in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, creating a 'boat' shape. Set the cucumber halves aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, carrot, red onion, and parsley.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables and toss until evenly coated.

Step 6

Spoon the vegetable salad into the cucumber boats, dividing it evenly among the four halves.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a light appetizer or chilled for added freshness.
