Quarter your cherry tomatoes and slice onion into thin strips.

Using the flat side of your knife, smash peeled garlic and mince into a paste. Season with a pinch of salt and add to a bowl with your veggies.

Add olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, freshly cracked black pepper, and fresh basil if you have some handy! Mix to coat the tomatoes and allow to sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. Enjoy at room temperature and feel free to adjust salt and pepper to taste.

These marinated tomatoes positively fantastic as a Summer salad topping that doubles as a dressing too! Pair with leafy greens, homemade croutons, and all your favorite mix-ins. Its also amazing atop toasted crostini as an appetizer and goes great on top of avocado toast too! The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!
