Salad Ingredients
- 3 Beefsteak tomatoes, sliced 1/3 inch thick
Marinade
- 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
- Fresh ground pepper, to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Tomatoes: Slice the beefsteak tomatoes into 1/3 inch thick slices and arrange them in a single layer on a platter with a rim to catch the marinade.
- Make Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced red onion, finely diced basil and parsley, crushed garlic, and fine sea salt until well combined.
- Marinate Tomatoes: Pour the marinade evenly over the arranged tomato slices, ensuring all slices are well covered and distributing the herbs and onion evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate: Cover the platter and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the tomatoes to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Serve: Just before serving, garnish the marinated tomatoes with freshly ground pepper for a final touch of flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh beefsteak tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice and vinegar to your taste preference for acidity.
- Marinate for at least one hour; longer marination will deepen the flavors.
- This salad is best served chilled as a refreshing starter or side dish.
- Can be paired well with crusty bread or grilled meats.
