Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut them into small, evenly sized chunks and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the red onion and dice it finely. Add the diced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and basil. Add the herbs to the bowl.
Peel and mince the garlic clove. Sprinkle the minced garlic into the mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake to combine.
Pour the dressing over the tomato mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once marinated, give the salad another light toss and serve chilled. Enjoy as a standalone side or alongside your favorite dish!
