Ingredients
- 5 large or 8 cups medium ripe red heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1/2 cup red onion (chopped)
- 8 - 10 fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- good crusty bread (for serving (optional))
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the tomatoes, red onion, basil, olive oil, garlic and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Let the tomato mixture sit room temperature for about 20 minutes to let the flavors blend (the juices from the tomatoes will release and create a kind of dressing). Toss well.
- When ready to serve, toss the tomato mixture and divide in 4 bowls. Eat with crusty bread if desired.
