This recipe is fantastic! I could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner! This would go well with almost any main course. Easy to make and perfect for summer! This is a refreshing recipe I could eat over and over again! When I close my eyes it makes me feel like I am in a very expensive restaurant except that these tomatoes are better than most of the food you normally get in an expensive restaurant! GOOD JOB Dorothy!!!

I wish I had been able to find some fresh basil, but even with the dry, this recipe just hit the spot! I prepared it in a 8" pie plate which seemed to be just the right size to fit the tomatoes. I allowed the tomatoes to marinate for two hours. Served alone as a side salad, with some freshly grated Parmesan Cheese sprinkled on top, it was absolutely delightful! Thanks again, Dorothy!

Simple, fast and tasty. The dry basil adds a nice taste combination with the balsamic vinegar. I can only imagine what it would taste like with fresh basil.

Well does this ever go well with the garden surplus of tomatoes - as already said I can eat this morning noon & evening. The fresh basil is wonderful. I added some raw sliced mushrooms too (the ones I picked up today were so fresh and snow white) Thanks Dorothy for a great, simple,but good , taste treat
