In a large salad bowl, add the diced cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and parsley.
Gently mix to combine.
Pour the olive oil and lemon juice on top of the veggies. Sprinkle them with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Notes
The secret to a truly good Israeli salad is to make sure the vegetables are finely chopped. This enables the dressing to coat the vegetables really well, and this is why this salad is so delicious.
It’s also important to use plenty of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. So while ¼ cup of oil seems like a lot, please use all of it. Remember, this salad will be divided into eight servings.
When chopping vegetables, curl your fingers inwards to protect them from the knife.
