This “Magic Tomato Salad” is incredibly simple but full of flavor. The trick is letting the tomatoes sit in a garlicky olive oil dressing so they become juicy and delicious.
🧾 Ingredients
4–5 ripe tomatoes (any variety), chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp vinegar (red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
½ tsp salt (or to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp sugar (optional, balances acidity)
2 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped
¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions

Chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces and place them in a bowl.
Make the dressing
In a small bowl mix olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar.
