Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it thinly and add it to the bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, then scoop out the flesh and dice it into cubes. Gently add the avocado to the salad.
Remove the stem and seeds from the green bell pepper, then dice it into small pieces and add to the bowl.
Thinly slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the salad.
Chop the parsley finely and add it to the salad for a fresh, herby flavor.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a light dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately as a fresh and healthy side dish or light main course.
