Wash unpeeled tomatoes and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place these in a shallow dish and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, along with a few pinches of sugar. Do not mix; set aside.
In a bowl, mash together the onion or chives and the marjoram. Stir in the olive oil. When well mixed, pour a spoonful at a time over tomatoes. Again, do not mix. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.

Shred some lettuce and grate the cucumber. Make a row of the lettuce all around the dish surrounding the tomatoes. Inside the lettuce row make a row of grated cucumber.
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Serve with toast spread with cream cheese. This makes a perfect summer luncheon.
