Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 0.33 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 small garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each tomato into thick slices (about 1/2 inch) or into wedges, depending on your preferred presentation.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the marinade is well mixed.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and parsley, then add them to the marinade. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5

Place the sliced tomatoes in the bowl with the marinade, tossing carefully to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For even better flavor, refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Step 7

When ready to serve, remove the bowl from the refrigerator and let the tomatoes sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to fully develop and come to life.

Step 8

Serve as a side dish, salad topper, or on toasted bread for a quick and easy appetizer.
