A fresh and zesty tomato salad with garlic, herbs, and a tangy vinaigrette—light, vibrant, and perfect as a side or starter.
Rinse the tomatoes and slice them into halves or chunks. For heirloom varieties, cutting them into rustic wedges adds visual appeal.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, your preferred vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. For a spicier kick, stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Add the tomatoes and herbs to a large bowl. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Allow the mixture to sit for 5–10 minutes so the flavors can meld. Enjoy right away or refrigerate briefly for a bolder flavor.
