1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, enhances the sweetness of the tomatoes)
Fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips (chiffonade)
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional for extra heat)
Preparation instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the tomatoes.
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces or slices. If using cherry tomatoes, simply cut them in half. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mix the marinade.
In a small bowl or pot, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar (if used). This mixture serves as a spicy dressing that gives the tomatoes a delicious flavor.
Step 3: Mix and let cool.
Pour the marinade over the tomatoes and gently toss so that they are coated. Add the fresh basil and red onion and gently toss everything together one more time.
Step 4: Let it marinate.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (2 hours is better). This allows the tomatoes to absorb the delicious dressing and the flavors to blend well.
