Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp flat leaf parsley minced
  • 2 tbsp basil minced

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 lbs cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • ¼ large red onion minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or grated

Instructions
 

Create Marinade

  • Whisk 1/4 extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp each red wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, ½ tsp Italian seasoning, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 2 tbsp each minced parsley and basil in a small bowl. 

Combine

  • Cut 1 pound of cherry tomatoes in half and place them into a shallow bowl. For large, garden-variety tomatoes, like beefsteak, slice tomatoes and arrange them in a single layer in a shallow dish.
  • Next, pour the marinade over the tomatoes. Gently toss to coat the tomatoes, arranging so that the tomatoes are submerged in the marinade. 

 Marinade

  • Let the tomatoes sit in the marinade for at least an hour at room temperature to let the flavors meld. After two hours move to the refrigerator to continue marinading. 

Enjoy

  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the tomatoes from the marinade and enjoy.

Store

  • Cover the tomato salad and refrigerate up to 3 days for the best flavor and texture.
