Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Grilled bread for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the tomatoes thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds.
- Arrange the tomato slices evenly on a serving plate or shallow dish.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with sea salt and let them rest for about 5 minutes to release their natural juices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, grated garlic, dried oregano, and black pepper until combined.
- Pour the vinaigrette evenly over the tomatoes, coating all slices lightly.
- Allow the tomatoes to sit for 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors blend together.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately with grilled bread if preferred.
Notes
- Use ripe seasonal tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Salting the tomatoes helps draw out moisture and enhances sweetness.
- Heirloom tomatoes create a colorful and flavorful presentation.
- Balsamic vinegar can be substituted for a sweeter flavor.
- Fresh basil or sliced red onions make excellent additions.
- Serve shortly after dressing to prevent the tomatoes from becoming too soft.
- This dish is naturally vegan and vegetarian.
- Grilled bread pairs perfectly for soaking up the flavorful juices.
