Recipe Notes:
- Use flat leaf parsley rather than curly parsley for the best flavor.
- Red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar can be substituted for the lemon juice.
- Italian seasoning makes a delicious substitute for the parsley.
- Cherry tomatoes add extra sweetness, or stir in a small drizzle of honey or balsamic reduction if desired.
- For a pretty farmhouse style presentation, slice large tomatoes and arrange them on a platter before spooning the marinade over the top.
- Store in the refrigerator for no longer than 24 hours. Freezing is not recommended.
