Easy Marinated Tomatoes

Easy Marinated Tomatoes are soaked in extra virgin olive oil, white vinegar, garlic, onion, lemon juice along with fresh herbs. This creates a zesty, fresh side dish, a topping on bruschetta, grilled meats or poached fish. I also like to use these in fresh summer salads.

Easy Marinated Tomatoes

Method

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Add the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, parsley, and salt & pepper to the bowl, then gently toss everything to combine.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.
