Preparation Steps
- Begin by slicing the beefsteak tomatoes into ⅓-inch thick slices, ensuring you have a mix of vibrant red and yellow hues for visual appeal. Arrange the tomato slices in an even layer in a shallow dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Next, add ¼ cup of minced red onion, ¼ cup of diced fresh basil, and ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley. Finally, incorporate 2 cloves of crushed garlic, a pinch of fine sea salt, and some fresh ground pepper, mixing until well combined.
- Carefully pour the flavorful marinade over the arranged tomato slices, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Gently toss the tomatoes with the marinade using a spatula or tongs to promote even coverage.
- Cover the shallow dish with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the refrigerator. Allow the Italian Tomato Salad to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
- Once marinated, remove the salad from the refrigerator and give it a gentle toss. Serve chilled.

Notes
For the best flavor, enjoy within 8 hours of marinating. Adjust vinegar or seasoning according to taste. Arrange tomatoes in a colorful pattern for visual appeal.
