📝 Ingredients:
4–5 ripe tomatoes (heirloom, cherry, Roma, or a mix), chopped or sliced
2–3 cloves garlic, finely minced or thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish
🍴 Instructions:
Prep the Tomatoes
Wash and slice your tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Place them in a large bowl.
Add Garlic & Dressing
Sprinkle the minced garlic over the tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar (or lemon juice). Season generously with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
Toss and Marinate
Gently toss everything to combine. Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish and Serve
Top with chopped fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately—or refrigerate for up to a few hours for even deeper flavor.
👩🍳 Pro Tips:
For a sweeter finish, add a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of balsamic reduction.
Rub a slice of toasted sourdough with garlic and top it with this salad for a rustic bruschetta.
If raw garlic is too strong, roast it first for a mellower, sweeter flavor.
