Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Alternatively, you can cut the tomatoes into wedges for a rustic presentation.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, honey, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is well combined and slightly emulsified.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces by hand, or roughly chop them if you prefer smaller flecks of basil in your dish.
Arrange the sliced or wedged tomatoes in a shallow serving dish or bowl, slightly overlapping them for a beautiful presentation.
Pour the prepared vinaigrette evenly over the tomatoes, ensuring that every piece is coated generously.
Sprinkle the torn basil leaves over the top for a pop of color and fresh aroma.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid, and let the tomatoes marinate at room temperature for 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a side dish, appetizer, or as a topping for toasted crusty bread. Optionally, garnish with more fresh basil or a light drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
