- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Wash the tomatoes under cold water, then pat them dry. Slice the tomatoes into thick round slices and arrange them on a large serving platter.
Peel the red onion and slice it into thin rings. Scatter the onion slices evenly over the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh parsley and basil finely. Sprinkle the herbs generously over the tomatoes and onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Peel the garlic clove and mince it finely. Add the minced garlic to the dressing and whisk again to incorporate it fully.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the tomatoes, red onion, and herbs for a rich, flavorful finish.
Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
