Simple and delicious. I make as-is, but with just a 1/2 tsp of garlic) to sit in the fridge for 2-3 hours. When I serve, I slice up some buffalo mozzarella to go with it (if I have it in the house) and a light drizzle of balsamic glaze. A nice side dish to go with a simple summer bbq.
4.14.18 Seemed to me that the herb-tomato ratio was off, and that’s not to say that I don’t like herbs and olive oil on fresh, tasty tomato sllices. The amount of herbs just overpowered the tomatoes (both from a flavor and presentation perspective), and I didn’t even include the chives. Honestly, I was just longing for a bit of vinegar, it was just too oily for my tastes. I refrigerated the tomatoes for several hours and sprinkled the parmesan on just before serving, but I also didn’t like the transformation of the tomatoes after chilling…they just didn’t look too appetizing. This recipe has had very good reviews, so I suspect my criticism is personal taste preference. Just won’t be making this again.
It was very good and a nice change from a caprese salad.
Used tomatoes from garden with fresh herbs and about 5 tablespoons of red wine vinegar (which was a little too much). Followed rest of recipe for large gathering and people seemed to really like it. I took home an empty plate. I will make again using less red wine vinegar.
Really good! I had mostly dried herbs, but it was still really tasty. Can’t wait to try it with homegrown tomatoes, yum!
We loved it! Great recipe for fresh tomatoes.
Made these over the weekend with Roma tomatoes that I had cut into chunks. These were fantastic! Would definitely make again, but this time maybe add a little Balsamic vinegar.
REALLY GOOD EASY Don’t overdue spices
Lovely refreshing summer salad, especially if you have the herbs already growing in your garden. I did water the dressing down a bit and added some lemon juice to taste.
We thought it was ok … I used half the garlic and that was still pretty strong! Could use a little balsamic vinegar …
Sliced homegrown tomatoes are good enough to stand on their own, but this recipe enhances their flavor nicely and creates a much prettier presentation, as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Momazirlott!
added cucumbers soo Delicious
Very good. I liked adding some red wine vinegar an I enjoyed it without the parmesan although I am sure it is good with it as well.
Loved the herb/oil mixture over the tomatoes but eliminated the garlic. The chives give it a good “oniony” flavor. All the garlic would have overpowered the dish and for some, like me, raw minced garlic repeats. The herb/oil mixture also would make a nice side dish for homemade or market fresh bread.
Fabulous!! I cut the recipe in half, and found that it needed an extra Tbl. of olive oil, + 1/4 tsp. salt + 1/8 tsp. pepper. My store was out of fresh oregano, so I used 1/2 tsp. dried. The garlic sounded like a ton, so I reduced it to 1 tsp. (for a halved recipe). So glad I reduced it! Thanks for the recipe!
This is a great way to enjoy tomatoes, and an easy side dish. It can be made with dried herbs as well (use 2 teaspoons each instead of 2 tablespoons) if you’re short on fresh herbs. Sometimes I like to add red wine vinegar to taste to change it up a bit. Love it! Thank you!
Made as-is, it’s a bit too oily. Next time I’ll cut back. WONDERFUL flavors, though.
Seriously good. i did have to use the dried oregano but it was perfect. i didnt care for this chilled but room temp was perfect. So good and def in the rotation!
Wow, this was really delicious! The dressing is so fresh and perfect with the tomatoes! Thanks!!
Excellent – light and refreshing. I used fresh thyme and chives, and dried oregano and parsley, reducing the latter two appropriately.
This is easy and delish— also try adding sliced cucumber and/or crumbled feta cheese and/or minced purple onions…..
