2. Create the marinade—– Whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar—if using, salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder (if using) in a small bowl.
3. Combine and marinating.
In a large basin mix the tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. Drizzle the vegetables with the marinade then toss to cover well.
