Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Wash and dry the tomatoes thoroughly.
Using a sharp knife, cut the tomatoes into even slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices neatly on a serving platter, slightly overlapping them for an attractive presentation.
Rinse the fresh basil, parsley, and chives under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Finely chop the parsley and chives, and slice the basil into thin ribbons (chiffonade).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar until well combined.
Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar mixture evenly over the sliced tomatoes.
Sprinkle the chopped herbs (basil, parsley, and chives) over the top of the tomatoes to evenly distribute the flavors.
Season the dish with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Allow the tomatoes to marinate at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serve as a refreshing side dish or appetizer. Enjoy your low-carb, herb-infused tomato slices!
