Fresh Tomato Salad w/Jalapeno Vinaigrette

Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, divided
2 large tomatoes, Beefsteak tomatoes recommended
½ - 1 jalapeño (based on preference), diced
3 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
Directions
- In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, and jalapenos. Cook long enough to soften the bite of the garlic, but not long enough for it to brown, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
- Thinly slice the tomatoes and arrange them on a large serving platter or tray with little overlap. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt, to preference.
- Stir vinegar into cooled garlic mixture. Spoon over sliced tomatoes. Garnish with cilantro.
- Serve at room temperature for the best flavor.
