In the summertime I love eating light pasta dishes. To me that means sauces with fresh veggies that require little or no cooking.
This recipe today is a new one from a recent Southern Living Magazine. We loved it! The marinated tomatoes take the longest amount of time, but that’s only to let them sit and absorb the flavors. You could add grilled chicken to this dish if you wanted to add some protein.

Marinated Tomatoes
Ingredients
Preparation
Gently stir together tomatoes, minced shallot, crushed garlic, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and set aside for 1 hour and 45 minutes, tossing occasionally. Stir in basil leaves and Italian parsley leaves. Serve immediately.
I added a popover and a green salad and it was a delicious and satisfying meal!
On a hot day when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen, this is the perfect recipe! Add toasted garlic bread and you’ll have the perfect summer meal!
What dish do you love to fix when it’s hot outside?
