1. Prepare the vegetables:** Thinly slice the cucumbers and onions. Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place all the vegetables in a large bowl.
2. Make the marinade:** In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, sugar (if using), oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
3. Marinate the vegetables:** Pour the marinade over the sliced vegetables and toss to combine. Make sure all the vegetables are well coated in the marinade.
4. Chill:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2-3 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve:** Before serving, give the salad a quick toss to redistribute the marinade. Garnish with fresh parsley or any additional toppings you prefer.
