Cut tomatoes into bite-sized pieces or slices that are ¼ inches thick. Arrange the tomatoes on a serving platter and add the chopped onions.
3 large tomatoes, 2 tablespoons onion chopped
Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, chili flakes, chopped basil, parsley, garlic, and salt, and make the dressing.
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 3 cloves garlic finely chopped, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 handful finely chopped parsley, 4 large leaves fresh basil, ½ teaspoon chili flakes
Pour the marinade evenly over the tomatoes. Let it sit for at least an hour so that the tomatoes can absorb the marinade.
Garnish with fresh ground pepper when ready to serve.
Salt and black pepper to taste

If you don't have balsamic vinegar on hand red wine vinegar or seasoned rice vinegar will work, though the dressing won't be quite the same.
To make this a main dish salad for two, add some fresh mozzarella balls to the salad!
