Quick, easy, and tasty! Liked the fresh taste of the tomatoes and parsley. The sugar keeps the Italian dressing from over powering the tomatoes. Made as written and let marinate 24 hours. Thanks so much for the post.

Delicious tomatoes! So fresh and flavorful - I did add the sugar and I think it gave it that little something. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
