- Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and cut the tomatoes into halves or wedges. Slice the onion very thin so it blends well with the salad. - Make the Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, oregano, and minced garlic until well combined. - Combine Everything
Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently until all the vegetables are evenly coated. - Marinate
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For best flavor, let it marinate 2–4 hours so the vegetables absorb the dressing. - Serve
Before serving, toss the salad again and sprinkle fresh parsley or dill on top for extra freshness.
