Wash and dry the tomatoes, then slice them into thick rounds or wedges, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional red chili flakes.
Finely chop the fresh basil, parsley, and oregano leaves, and add them to the olive oil mixture. Stir well to combine.
Gently place the sliced tomatoes into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and let the tomatoes marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. For deeper flavor, refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Before serving, give the tomatoes a gentle toss to redistribute the marinade.
Serve as a side dish, salad topping, or on slices of toasted bread for a delicious appetizer.
