Wash and dice the tomatoes, green bell pepper, and red onion into small, uniform pieces.
Finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, and red onion.
Add the chopped parsley to the bowl and mix gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, water, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Vinagrete for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Before serving, give the mixture a gentle stir and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
