How to Make Zesty Tomatoes

  1. In a jar with a lid, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Secure the lid and shake well to emulsify the dressing.
  2. Thinly slice 1 large red onion and 2 pounds of assorted tomatoes (a mix of colors is best!).
  3. Arrange the onion and tomato slices in a shallow dish.
  4. Pour the dressing evenly over the tomatoes and onions, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
