Marinated Tomatoes

By KimberleyH

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
• 10 basil leaves, sliced very thinly
• 1/8 teaspoon ground thyme
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 pounds bite size tomatoes, halved, I used campari, cherry, grape and sunburst tomatoes

Preparation

Step 1

Combine everything except the tomatoes and whisk together in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes and toss well. Allow the tomatoes to marinate at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a few hours. If you prefer your tomatoes chilled, place the bowl in the refrigerator for an hour or so before serving. The tomatoes will create their own amazing marinade as they rest.
