Step 1

In a large bowl combine the tomatoes, red onion, basil, olive oil, garlic and season liberally with salt and pepper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

When ready to serve, toss the tomato mixture and divide in 4 bowls. Eat with crusty bread if desired.
