Marinated Tomatoes
A fresh, light side dish or appetizer perfect for late summer when tomatoes are abundant at the farmers market.
Ingredients
2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes (different colors/varieties make a spectacular plate)
2 cloves garlic minced
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
handful of chopped fresh basil
Directions
1. On a plate or platter, slice the tomatoes. You can do a whole slice or cut the slices into halves or quarters.
2. In a jar, combine oil, vinegar and garlic. Put the lid on and shake until well mixed and pour over the tomatoes.
3. Sprinkle the chopped basil over the tomatoes and add salt and pepper to taste.
Let marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Make this recipe your own by adding in other vegetables such as cucumbers, jalapenos, etc.

I love getting things in my inbox from you!!! Your happiness and love for life are conveyed in every post. I cannot believe we haven’t been able to get back to Cleveland 😩 but, many factors, aside from the Covid years, have made it impossible to do so. 😂 Oh well. I’ll have to cut those ties soon, I guess. When tomatoes finally ripen up here, I will make this recipe in honor of you! Hugs and kisses to you, Jay, the “kids†and Toots, of course.
