A refreshing and flavorful marinated tomato salad, perfect as a side dish or topping.
Slice the roma tomatoes into thin wedges and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and avoid squishing the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Crush the garlic slightly before mincing to release more flavor.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic.
Use high-quality olive oil for the best taste.
Sprinkle the salt, basil, and oregano over the mixture and gently toss to combine.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the tomato wedges.
Let the salad marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap to keep the flavors intact.
Serve the marinated tomato salad as a side dish or use it as a topping for bruschetta or green salads.
Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves for a vibrant presentation.
