How to Make Tomato And Sweet Onion Platter

  1. Wash and prepare all vegetables: halve the cherry or grape tomatoes, thinly slice the sweet onion and cucumber, and slice the bell pepper into rings.
  2. Arrange the halved tomatoes in a single layer on a large, rimmed platter or shallow bowl.
  3. Arrange the thinly sliced sweet onions over the tomatoes.
  4. Layer the cucumber slices and bell pepper rings over the onions.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar (or balsamic), oregano, salt, and pepper.
  6. Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the vegetables on the platter.
  7. Gently toss the vegetables to lightly coat them with the dressing. (Optional)
  8. Cover the platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is recommended, but not required.
  9. Before serving, spoon any accumulated dressing from the bottom of the platter back over the vegetables for extra flavor.
