"This is Fred's recipe. You can use any type of tomatoes. We prefer using cherry or grape tomatoes for this dish. The longer they marinate the better. A quick and easy side dish for the hot summer."

Great side salad to Recipe #507013. -
Absolutely delicious! Loved this dish - so easy to make and such a beautiful presentation. I had some grape tomatoes on hand and this recipe was perfect for them. It wasn't necessary to add sugar as they were so wonderfully sweet on their own and the contrast of the Italian dressing really makes a nice balance. I did not have parsley, but used some basil from my garden. Will definitely make this dish again and will add it to my Best of 2012 cookbook. Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag, September, 2012. -
This makes a nice side salad to go with any meal. I sliced the tomatoes in half. I could not see the dressing penetrating the tomato skin any other way. The cheese was added just before serving. Made for Recipe Swap #62 Australian/New Zealand Cooking game

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!
