Marinated Cherry Tomatoes

Fresh Marinated Tomatoes with garlic, lemon and red onion.

Ingredients

1/2 lb cherry/grape tomatoes

1/2 red onion, finely sliced

5 garlic gloves, grated into paste or finely chopped

4 tbs red wine vinegar (apple cider works well as a sub, but changes recipe flavor) 

3 tbs Olive oil (sub: avocado oil)

fresh or dried basil to taste

salt & pepper to taste

juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

Quarter your grape/cherry tomatoes 

Slice onion into thin strips.

Peel garlic and mince into a paste. Add to a bowl with your veggies.

Drizzle olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice over mixture

Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and fresh (or dried) basil; to taste. 

Mix to coat the tomatoes and allow to sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Enjoy at room temperature.

Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refigerator for up to 2 days.  Mixture will start to loose the ‘fresh from the garden’ crispness after 1 day.

 

Notes

These marinated tomatoes can be served as a summer snack or light lunch over greens.
