Ingredients

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes 10 oz
  • 2 teaspoon fish sauce or liquid aminos
  • 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 ea shallot thin sliced, or use 1-2 Tb chopped red onion
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4-6 leaves Thai basil or mint, cilantro, Italian basil, or fresh leafy herb of choice

Instructions

  • Mix shallot with rice vinegar to soften.
  • Slice cherry tomatoes in half. Thin slice the Thai basil or other herb.
  • Mix all ingredients together. Serve right away or marinate overnight.

Notes

  1. Friendly reminder to try and find the tastiest, ripest cherry tomatoes you can.
  2. These taste better the next day after they've had time to marinate.  Just let the tomatoes come to room temperature if you can after storing in the fridge.
  3. Make ahead up to 1-2 days. The tomato texture starts to deteriorate after extended storage.
