Jim's Awesome Sliced Tomatoes
These make a great appetizer, or a cool and crisp side dish or salad substitute.
Credit where credit is due: This was developed from BigOven.com recipe #25662. To the original recipe, I added the garlic, basil, oregano, sugar, and black pepper, and quantified the whole recipe (the original had no ingredient quantities). Hope you like this alternative version.
