Easy Marinated Tomatoes
Easy Marinated Tomatoes are soaked in extra virgin olive oil, white vinegar, garlic, onion, lemon juice along with fresh herbs.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes or other small garden tomatoes
- 2 garlic minced or chopped
- 1 white onion thinly sliced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice your tomatoes into halves or quarters and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the garlic to the bowl. Slice the onion into thin strips and add to the bowl.
- Add the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, parsley, and salt & pepper to the bowl, then gently toss everything to combine.
- Cover the bowl or put the tomato mixture into a mason jar and cover and let the mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours before serving.
- This is a great topping for poached fish, a salad, or bruschetta and enjoy!
Notes
- If using larger tomatoes than the cherry variety, be sure to toss super carefully when coating with the liquids or else you may end up with a mushy, murky mixture.
- For an extra pop of intense flavor, replace the white vinegar with balsamic, if desired.
- Lasts for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature before serving again if the mixture has been refrigerated.
- Don’t want to throw out the extra marinade after you’ve used all of the veggies? It makes for a delicious salad dressing!
- You can also use the same marinade to prepare a second batch of tomatoes if desired.
