Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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))

Instruction

  • 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.
