Ingredients
  

  • 4 large ripe tomatoes Choose firm yet slightly soft tomatoes for the best flavor.

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Provides a tangy kick that enhances the tomatoes' natural sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt Enhances all the flavors in the dish.

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped Adds freshness and color.
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Offers a spicy kick if desired.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Tomatoes: Select large, ripe tomatoes that are firm yet slightly soft to ensure they hold up during marination. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
  2. Slice the Tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes into wedges, rounds, or cubes based on your preference, ensuring uniform sizes for even marination.
  3. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, combine olive oil and balsamic vinegar until well mixed. Add in sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to create an aromatic blend.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir in chopped fresh basil and parsley, along with red pepper flakes if desired. Whisk everything together before pouring it over the sliced tomatoes.
