A refreshing and vibrant salad featuring juicy tomatoes, aromatic garlic, and a tangy dressing, perfect for a light meal or side dish.

Ingredients

  • Tomatoes: 4 medium-sized, diced
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Extra virgin olive oil: 3 tablespoons
  • Red wine vinegar: 1 tablespoon
  • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Fresh basil: handful, torn or chopped
  • Optional add-ins: red onion slices, feta cheese, olives

Instructions

  1. Dice the tomatoes and mince the garlic, then add both to a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and garlic, and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Tear fresh basil and scatter over the salad just before serving. Add any optional ingredients like red onions or feta if desired.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

  • Let the salad rest before serving to allow the garlic to infuse the dressing.
  • Feel free to swap in other fresh herbs like parsley or mint for a twist.
  • Make ahead for even deeper flavors, but add the basil just before serving to keep it fresh.
