Ingredients
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon dried red chili flakes, optional
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes well under cold running water. Lay the washed tomatoes onto a clean kitchen towel or a double layer of paper towels. Roll the tomatoes gently to dry them. The goal is to eliminate any water from the washing.
- Once the tomatoes are dried, cut each tomato in half from the stem to the base. This will allow the marinade mixture to permeate the tomato, while allowing the pulp and seeds to mix with the marinating mixture, creating a more flavourful dish.
- Set the tomatoes into a bowl and set them aside.
- Next, add the olive oil, vinegar, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, ground black pepper, and honey into a small mixing bowl. Use a whisk to combine the marinating mixture.
- Pour over the tomatoes and use a spatula to toss until well combined and coated.
- Transfer to a food-safe container with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate for two hours.
