Marinated Tomatoes

These marinated tomatoes are juicy, garlicky, and full of fresh Mediterranean flavor. Made with ripe tomatoes, white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, parsley, and oregano, they work beautifully as a quick side dish, salad topping, or spooned over crusty bread.

Instructions

Wash 3 tomatoes thoroughly, slice them into thin rounds, and place the slices in a shallow dish. Sprinkle the tomatoes with ¼ tsp salt and ⅛ tsp pepper.
In a small bowl, combine 2 cloves garlic , minced, chopped parsley, 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar, and 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Stir the marinade until fully blended.
Pour the marinade evenly over the tomatoes, making sure each slice is well coated, then sprinkle ¼ tsp dried oregano over the top.
Let the tomatoes marinate for at least 15 minutes before serving so they become juicy and flavorful.

Notes

Use Good Tomatoes: I like using ripe tomatoes with a deep red color because the flavor of this recipe depends on the tomatoes themselves.

Slice Evenly: Thin, even slices absorb the marinade more evenly and make the dish look better when serving.

Let Them Rest: The tomatoes become more flavorful as they sit, so I usually leave them for a little longer if I have time.

Serve Fresh: I love serving these with crusty bread because the tomato juices and olive oil at the bottom are too good to waste.
