EVERGREENS AND TOMATOES
About the Recipe
Perfect light, bright side dish to complement any meal during the summer
Ingredients
3 Tbsp Sherry vinegar - if you don't have Sherry vinegar you can swap out with another vinegar fairly easily
4 Tbsp nice olive oil or EVOO + more for drizzling
1-2 garlic cloves minced
Salt to taste
Ground pepper
1/4 tsp of sugar (optional)
Thinly sliced fresh basil
Preparation
Step 1
Mix together the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, sugar (optional), pinch of salt, and ground pepper and set aside until you are almost ready to eat. I would recommend at minimum letting it sit for 15 minutes to soften the kick from the garlic.
Step 2
Slice the tomatoes and set the slices on a plate and top with the vinegar and oil mixture. Let sit for 10-30 minutes (up to 24 hours) before serving - the more time you give it to marinate the better, but sometimes you just gotta eat.
Step 3
Then thinly slice the fresh basil and place the basil on top of the marinated tomatoes and serve
Enjoy!
