Balsamic Herb Marinade (Marinated Tomatoes)

A marinade forked into its own recipe per the archive's rule that accompanying components (glazes, marinades, rubs, sauces, etc.) are kept as standalone recipes. It also remains inline in Perfect Marinated Tomatoes with Mozzarella, where it is originally used.
