Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Beefsteak tomatoes – sliced 1/3″ thick
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 Tablespoons minced red onion
- 4 large leaves fresh basil – finely diced
- 1 Tablespoon diced fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic – crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes into slices about ⅓ of an inch thick and arrange on a platter with a rim in a single layer.
- Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced red onion, diced basil and parsley, crushed garlic, and sea salt to make the marinade.
- Pour the marinade evenly over the tomatoes, ensuring that they are all covered and the herbs and onion are distributed across the top.
- Place the platter in the fridge and let it sit for at least an hour so the tomatoes can absorb the marinade.
- Garnish with fresh ground pepper before serving.
Notes
- Use the freshest tomatoes you can find for best flavor.
- Letting the salad marinate longer enhances the taste.
- Can be served chilled or at room temperature.
