Instructions

Arrange tomato slices in a shallow dish, top with onion rings, and then bell pepper rings for a vibrant presentation.
In a jar, mix olive oil, cider vinegar, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Seal the jar tightly and shake until the vinaigrette is well combined. Pour over the tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop fully.
