Time 4h

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c. Canola Oil
1/4 c. Balsamic Vinegar
4 tbsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
3 whole Green Onions, Sliced
1/4 c. Chopped Parsley
18 whole Basil Leaves (chiffonade)
1/4 tsp. Ground Thyme

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except tomatoes in a large glass bowl. Whisk to combine, then add tomatoes. (You can up the quantity of tomatoes if need be.) Use regular red tomatoes, or a mixture of red, yellow, heirloom, etc. Use different sizes of tomatoes, too--pretty!Allow to marinate for at least 3 to 4 hours, several hours if possible. Tomatoes will give off liquid as they marinate.Use leftover tomatoes to make bruschetta: slice baguette and brush slices with olive oil. Grill on a skillet or grill pan until golden. Rub slices with garlic cloves. Top with tomatoes, allowing juice to drip on the bread.
