- Chop the onion and bell pepper into a 1/2 inch dice and add them to the bowl.
- Seed the plum tomatoes and dice and add them to the bowl along with the olives and parsley.
- Whisk the oil and vinegar together and add it to the mix. Toss the vegetables untill they are coated with the dressing. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
