Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes halved or quartered
  • 1 clove garlic finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced herbs such as parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste (0.5 to 0.75 teaspoon)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Toss tomatoes, grated garlic, olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and salt together in a small bowl.
  2. Let the marinated tomatoes get real yummy. Give them 2-3 hours minimum to just rest in the fridge, but you can also let them soak in all that goodness for up to 24 hours, especially if your tomatoes were sturdy to begin with, and/or if you’ll be mixing them into other things like a salad. Bring them back to room temperature for ideal serving conditions!

Notes

For best flavor, allow tomatoes to marinate for at least 2-3 hours, or up to 24 hours.
