Marinated Tomatoes are juicy, flavorful slices or halves soaked in a zesty olive oil and vinegar dressing with garlic and herbs. This quick and easy dish makes a refreshing side, salad topper, or savory addition to toast and grilled meats.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs ripe tomatoes (cherry, grape, or heirloom), sliced or halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (or parsley/oregano)
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta or diced mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Place sliced or halved tomatoes in a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  3. Pour marinade over tomatoes and gently toss to coat.
  4. Let sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes to marinate.
  5. Stir in fresh herbs before serving and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • Add feta or mozzarella for a richer variation.
  • Use lemon juice instead of vinegar for a brighter flavor.
  • Store in fridge for up to 2 days; bring to room temp before serving.
  • Great with grilled meats, pasta, or crusty bread.
  • No need to peel tomatoes—leave skins on for ease and texture.
