Ingredients

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: Wash the ripe tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into wedges or bite-sized pieces according to your preference, ensuring they are ready to absorb the marinade.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil with the red grape vinegar. Add the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped basil, parsley, and dill. Stir well to blend all the flavors together.
  3. Marinate: Place the sliced tomatoes into a serving dish or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Gently toss the tomatoes so that they are evenly coated with the herb-infused mixture.
  4. Season to Taste: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the marinated tomatoes, adjusting according to your preference.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side or appetizer.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use the freshest, ripest tomatoes you can find.
  • Feel free to substitute red grape vinegar with red wine vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and herbs according to your taste preferences.
  • This dish is ideal for summer when tomatoes are in season.
  • The marinated tomatoes keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but are best enjoyed fresh.
