  1. Cut Roma/plum tomatoes in half lengthwise then slice each half horizontally. Cut into wedges. Combine with sliced onion.
  2. Using the flat side of your knife, smash a clove of peeled garlic and mince into a paste. Season with a pinch of salt and add to a bowl with your veggies.
  3. Add olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, freshly cracked black pepper, and fresh basil if you have some handy! Mix to coat the tomatoes and allow to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it sits the more intense the flavors will be.

Notes

  • Store leftover marinated tomatoes in the fridge and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
  • Before eating refrigerated leftovers, bring them to room temperature to restore the full flavor profile.
  • This preparation works well as a salad dressing, bruschetta topping, or on avocado toast, and pairs nicely with mozzarella in Caprese salads.
