# Steps:
01 -
Quarter your tomatoes or chop them small. Cut onion into thin rings. Slice cucumbers into rounds, then toss them all together in a big bowl.
02 -
Combine the vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, herbs, and pepper in a small jar or bowl. Stir or shake well until the ingredients blend completely.
03 -
Drizzle the marinade mix over everything in the bowl. Toss the veggies until they're well coated and every piece gets some of the marinade.
04 -
Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least an hour, though leaving it overnight will taste even better.
05 -
Give the salad a quick stir before serving. Scoop it out with a slotted spoon, and top with herbs or feta if you’d like.

Serve using a slotted spoon so the marinade stays behind.
