Instructions:
Prepare marinade by combining olive oil, cider vinegar, basil, sugar,
salt, dry
mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. You may opt
to combine
the ingredients in a blender, or at least utilize a salad dressing
shaker to thoroughly
mix the oil and vinegar.
In a shallow serving bowl, arrange half the tomato slices in layer over
bottom. Scatter
half the onion rings and parsley over tomatoes and sprinkle lightly
with marinade.
Repeat layering process. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1
