This colorful salad will be the center of attention at any meal. It combines many of the wonderful flavors and colors of Mexican cooking. Grape tomatoes are baby Roma tomatoes and are slightly sweeter than cherry tomatoes, but cherry tomatoes can easily be used instead in this tasty salad.

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup cider vinegar
