Ingredients

Scale

Tomatoes

  • 1.5 pounds Ripe Tomatoes

Marinade

  • 6 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Red Grape Vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
  • ⅓ cup Red Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove Garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Basil (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons Parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Dill (finely chopped)
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tomatoes: Rinse the ripe tomatoes thoroughly, pat them dry with a kitchen towel, and slice them into ⅓ inch thick slices. Arrange the tomato slices neatly in a large shallow dish to ensure even marination.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red grape vinegar, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped basil, parsley, dill, salt, and freshly ground pepper until well combined.
  3. Marinate the Tomatoes: Pour the prepared marinade evenly over the arranged tomato slices, making sure each slice is well coated to absorb all the flavors.
  4. Chill and Marinate: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Flip the tomato slices once during this time to ensure both sides soak up the marinade evenly.
  5. Serve: After marinating, serve the tomatoes as a flavorful salad or a delicious side dish alongside your favorite meals for a fresh, herbaceous touch.

Notes

  • Use ripe, firm tomatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute red grape vinegar with red wine vinegar if preferred.
  • Allowing the tomatoes to marinate longer enhances the depth of flavor.
  • This dish is best enjoyed within 24 hours for freshness.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
