Marinated Cucumbers, Onions, and Tomatoes

Instructions:

Combine the vegetables in a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, pepper, and olive oil (if using).
Pour the marinade over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour—overnight gives the best flavor.
Stir before serving and enjoy chilled.
