Method
How to Make Marinated Tomatoes
Wash the ripe tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into wedges or chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pour the marinade over the tomatoes and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Let the tomatoes sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
Before serving, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Notes
These marinated tomatoes can enhance salads or serve as a topping for toasted bread.
