Ingredients

3 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced ½" thick *Note 1
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup red wine vinegar *Note 2
1 tsp dried herbs: thyme, basil, oregano *Note 3
sea salt, to taste

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, add the garlic, olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and salt. Use a whisk to combine until emulsified. You can also use a small blender.
Arrange the tomatoes on a large plate, slightly overlapping.
Pour the marinade evenly over the tomatoes. Cover with the lid or plastic wrap, and marinate for 2-12 hours. Let come to room temperature before serving, for best flavor.

Notes

*Note 1 – This recipe works with just about any ripe tomato. Heirloom tomatoes offer the most flavor, but Roma, Campari, cherry, and grape tomatoes are all great choices.

*Note 2 – Red wine vinegar is used in this version, but white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and balsamic vinegar are excellent substitutes.

*Note 3 – Feel free to use a single herb or a blend of herbs. Oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary, and Italian seasoning all work well in this recipe. If you have fresh herbs, use a full tablespoon.
