Summer tomatoes deserve to be the star of the table and these Marinated Tomato Slices let their fresh, vibrant flavor shine. Made with juicy heirloom tomatoes and a simple, herb-infused marinade, this recipe is proof that you don’t need a long list of ingredients to create something memorable. Whether you’re serving them at a backyard barbecue, bringing a side dish to a picnic, or looking for a fresh addition to dinner, these marinated tomatoes are an easy way to celebrate peak tomato season.
What makes this recipe stand out is the flavorful marinade. Member’s Mark™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil creates a rich, silky base, while red wine vinegar adds just the right amount of tangy brightness. Member’s Mark™ Garlic Powder and Member’s Mark™ Oregano infuse every slice with savory, Mediterranean-inspired flavor, and a finishing touch of Member’s Mark™ Mediterranean Sea Salt Grinder and Member’s Mark™ Black Pepper Grinder perfectly enhances the tomatoes’ natural sweetness. As the tomatoes marinate, they soak up every layer of flavor, becoming even more delicious with time.
The process couldn’t be easier. Simply slice fresh heirloom tomatoes, whisk together the marinade, and let everything rest while the flavors meld together. With just a few pantry staples and minimal prep, you’ll have a colorful, refreshing dish that’s as beautiful as it is flavorful. Like many of the best summer recipes, it lets fresh ingredients do the work.
One of the best things about these marinated tomatoes is their incredible versatility. Enjoy them straight from the dish as a simple appetizer, layer them with fresh mozzarella and basil for an easy Caprese salad, or spoon them over mixed greens for an instant flavor boost. They’re equally delicious piled onto toasted sourdough or avocado toast, tucked into sandwiches and burgers, served alongside cottage cheese for a protein-packed lunch, or paired with grilled chicken, steak, or fish. The flavorful marinade even doubles as a delicious dressing for salads or crusty bread.
