Step-by-Step Instructions for 5-Ingredient Marinated Tomatoes
  1. Start by washing your fresh tomatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. If you’re using cherry tomatoes, simply halve them. If you prefer beefsteak tomatoes, slice them into wedges.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, grated garlic, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Stir in freshly chopped herbs of your choice and season with salt to taste.
  3. Gently add your prepared tomatoes into the bowl with the marinade. Toss the tomatoes until they are well-coated in the mixture.
  4. Allow the tomatoes to marinate at room temperature for at least 10 minutes for an intense flavor.
