The Best Marinated Tomatoes EVER
Today I made marinated tomaotes for the Labor Day cook-out we had with my family. They are so flavorful and the fresh herbs really are great in this summery dish!
Although the recipe doesn't call for it, I thought I'd have some sliced mozzarella on the side for anyone who wanted to make it a caprese-style salad.
Tonight, for the first time, it's starting to feel like fall. It may have been in the 90's today, but this is certainly a cool night and I am loving it!
Click below for the recipe. Trust me, this is a great one!
6 ripe tomatoes (home-grown are wonderful!)
You can peel them if you want, but I didn't.
marinade:
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 t. fresh thyme
1/4 c. chives, chopped
2/3 cup olive oil (or salad oil)
1/4 c. white vinegar
1 t. sugar
I made the marinade a day ahead and let the herbs infuse the oil and vinegar over night. Then today, I sliced the tomatoes and covered them with the yummy marinade.
ooo oooo a great summer salad for me.. ehheheh thanks for sharing
