Ingredients

Tomatoes and Vegetables

  • 4 large ripe tomatoes (hard to the touch)
  • 2 garlic cloves (pressed)
  • 1/4 small white onion (finely diced)
  • 1/2 small bunch of fresh dill weed (or substitute with fresh basil, parsley, or cilantro)

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the 4 large ripe tomatoes into 1/3-inch thick slices. Finely chop the 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 small white onion, and herbs of choice (either basil or dill weed).
  2. Make the marinade: Combine the chopped garlic, onion, herbs, 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon honey in a small bowl. Mix well to combine all flavors.
  3. Arrange the tomatoes: Lay the tomato slices on a shallow platter or dish and season evenly with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Apply the marinade: Spoon the garlic-herb marinade evenly over the sliced tomatoes, ensuring the flavors coat each slice.
  5. Refrigerate to marinate: Cover the platter with cling film (plastic wrap) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the tomatoes to absorb the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • This dish is best served chilled after marinating for at least an hour.
  • Use the freshest, ripest tomatoes available for the best flavor.
  • You can substitute fresh dill with basil, parsley, or cilantro according to your preference.
  • Adjust the amount of honey for sweetness to suit your taste.
  • For a more intense flavor, let the tomatoes marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
