Italian Tomato Salad (Marinated Tomato Salad)

Ingredients

  • 3 Beefsteak tomatoes (sliced 1/3" thick)
  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1⁄2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 Tablespoons minced Red Onion
  • 4 large leaves fresh basil (finely diced)
  • 1 Tablespoon diced fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed)
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • fresh ground pepper

Directions

  • Slice the tomatoes into slices about 1/3 of an inch thick and arrange on a platter with a rim in a single layer.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced red onion, diced basil and parsley, crushed garlic and sea salt to make the marinade.
  • Pour the marinade evenly over the tomatoes ensuring that they are all covered in marinade and that the herbs and onion are spread out across the top of the tomatoes.
  • Place the platter in the fridge and let sit for at least an hour so that the tomatoes can absorb the marinade.
  • Garnish with fresh ground pepper when ready to serve.
