Very simple and very yummy. Good alone or mixed with baby spinach for a nice salad.

I thought there might be too much oregano in the recipe before I tried it, but I made this exactly as written and it was fabulous. I will be making this very often.

This gets 1 star based on the way the recipe is written. I almost always read our fellow reviewers comments but was in a rush today and just followed the recipe since it was rated so high and the ingredients were simple. WRONG - do NOT follow this recipe - follow the reviewers advice. Use at least 1/2 the amt of oregano. As soon as I saw the end result of following the recipe I was able to quickly rinse off the tomotoes and start again. Use this recipe but halve the oregano and use the good tips from other reviewers.

This was pretty good! I used lots more tomatoes because there was way more dressing than I wanted! Also used 1 tsp oregano and 1 tsp basil and added some garlic powder. Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before eating. That improved it. Worked well to use up an abundance of grape tomatoes out of the garden.

This is a wonderful side dish. Easy and delicious. The second time I made this, I chopped the grape tomatoes into fourths and turned the recipe into a salsa for over chicken. Yummy.

This was delicious! I decresed the oregano, as it's a strong flavour, and I used a whoel small carton of tomatoes. I added feta cheese made with goat milk and herbed with garlic. Absolutely delicious, I ate the whole thing in one sitting!!!

Far too much marinade for the tomatoes. I would recommend doubling the number of tomatoes for the current receipe. The flavor is awesome though!

This was fantastic! I added some cut-up cucumbers and radishes, doubled the oil and vinegar, used basil and oregano (less oregano, let it sit for about 1/2 hour, and used it as a salad dressing over mixed greens. My husband loved it and this will definitely be a favorite!

Good quick snack with a little more zing that plain tomatoes. Fresh oregano or basil (in place of the oregano) makes it taste even more fresh.

Pretty good! Per some other reveiwers suggestions, I added a green onion, a chopped up mozzarella stick, 1 1/2 tsp basil (decreased the oregano to 1/2 tsp), and used garlic salt instead of regular. There was a ton of "juice" so I served the whole thing over some salad greens for extra veggies. Filling, delicious, and easy. I think it would be better with fresh herbs, but I could make it again this way.

I multiplied this recipe by 4, but reduced the oregano to 1 tsp and added 1 tsp of basil. I also added spring onions and I let it sit at room temp. for an hour or so. I had also halved the tomatoes. It was excellent!

I doubled the recipe for two of us, but it was almost too much. Used grape tomatoes, a high quality balsamic vinegar, skipped the oregano, added lots of fresh-snipped basil, halved the salt, and added a bit of mild feta. Nice texture with the grape tomatoes; anymore salt would have been too much; feta combined well with other flavors.

This is a delicious tomato salad. I used garlic salt instead of plain old salt, maybe half the oregano and added quite a bit of freshly snipped basil. I also just added amounts of oil and vinegar to suit my tastes. Let sit for more like 15 min. before eating. I could see myself adding shredded or cubed mozzarella cheese to this, and I will use fresh oregano next time. Yum.
