“This is great to use as your salad dressing, or as a salad topping with additional dressing. You can also serve this as a side dish, especially when tomatoes are plentiful in the summer months! If you prepare this during a “dry tomato season”, plum tomatoes are a good substitute. This recipe came from Southern Living. Please note: Cooking time is marinating time!”

Delicious! What a great way to use up the last of my garden tomatoes. I used basil infused olive oil, extra fresh basil, and red onions. We enjoyed this as a side dish with grilled steaks. This will definitely be my go to recipe when my garden has an overabundance of tomatoes. Thank you for sharing, breezermom! **Made for 2014 Football Pool**
I made this recipe as written, altho I did “make it my own” in sml ways (see pic) that didn’t alter the heart of the recipe. Served as a side-dish at a dinner party last nite, tomatoes are grown in hot houses yr-rd here in Iceland & are very popular. 1 of my guests was so fond of it that he kept relocating the serving tray it was on near to him so he could help himself to it easily. I love easy & make ahead fixes (esp when entertaining) & this was made on Wed to serve on Fri. As a matter of pers pref, I dislike the slimy seed section of tomatoes so I de-seeded them & cut them in thin bite-size wedges. I also added black olives & a bit of sugar to soften the vinegar flavour & satisfy 2 of DH’s pers pref’s. The finished product was well-rec’d by DH & our guests. Thx for pasting this recipe for us.
