- 1 clove garlic
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt

Wash and pat dry the tomatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a large serving platter or shallow dish.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Add it to the dressing mixture.
Chop the fresh parsley and thinly slice the basil leaves. Reserve a few basil leaves for garnish if desired.

Drizzle the dressing over the tomatoes, ensuring each slice is coated evenly.
Let the tomatoes marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For a more intense flavor, cover the tomatoes and refrigerate them for up to 2 hours before serving.
