• 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes under cold water, then pat them dry. Slice the tomatoes into thick round slices and arrange them on a large serving platter.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Peel the garlic clove and mince it finely. Add the minced garlic to the dressing and whisk again to incorporate it fully.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the tomatoes, red onion, and herbs for a rich, flavorful finish.

Step 7

Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
