Marinated Tomatoes

Course Appetizer

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup vidalia onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tsp lemon zest + 2 slices lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or herb of your choice, finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp sea salt and fresh pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the tomatoes in half and place in a bowl. lengthwise then slice each half horizontally.
  • Slice the onion and add to the tomatoes.
  • Add the garlic, lemon, olive oil, vinegar, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Mix well to combine. 
Allow to sit at room temperature for 60 minutes, stirring from time to time. As it sits the flavours will develop.
  • The longer the mixture sits the more intense the flavors will be.
  • Serve at room temperature for best flavour.

Notes

Serve over bread, or toasted crostini, mixed into an arugula or caprese salad. I have some of the mixture leftover and I’m going to mix it into a bowl of pasta with parmesan.
