📝 Ingredients
4–5 ripe tomatoes (any kind: vine, Roma, cherry, or heirloom)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1–2 tbsp vinegar (red wine or balsamic)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Optional: fresh basil or parsley, thinly sliced onion
👩🍳 How to Make the Magic Tomato Salad
Slice the tomatoes and place them in a wide bowl or serving dish.
Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 2–3 minutes to release their juices.
Add garlic, olive oil, and vinegar directly over the tomatoes.
Season with pepper and oregano, then gently toss to coat everything.
Let the salad rest for at least 10 minutes (longer = more flavor).
Finish with fresh herbs or onions if using, and serve.
💡 Pro tip: Spoon the juices at the bottom over the tomatoes right before serving — that’s liquid gold!
