This marinated cherry tomato & basil is everything we love about summer food. The ingredients are light, fresh & vibrant. The sauce is made by marinating cherry tomatoes in lashings of olive oil, lemon juice, zest, minced garlic, finely sliced red onion, oregano & a big bunch of fresh basil. Marinating requires little to no time in the kitchen, allowing you to spend more time outside this summer. I like to. marinade my tomatoes at room temp for 4 hours for optimal flavour. The flavours in this dish are truly beautiful, I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

4. Serve with a sprinkle more Parmesan and a few sprigs of basil. Enjoy

Notes

I marinaded my tomatoes for 4 hours at room temp for optimal flavour, however 2-3 hours is also ample.
