Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks or thick slices according to preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and water until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetables.
Toss the vegetables gently to ensure they are coated evenly with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container.
Allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours (or up to overnight for richer flavor).
