Ingredients

3 medium ripe tomatos, diced
1/2 cup basil, chiffonade (chiffonaded?)
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sweet onion, diced (optional)
1/4 cup the best extra virgin olive oil you can find
1-2 tablespoons good balsamic vinegar
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1

Mince garlic fine and add to oil in a glass or non-reactive bowl. Add onion. Add tomatos and basil. Toss with balsamic vinegar. Let sit on counter for at least an hour, stirring occasionally. After an hour, salt and pepper to taste. Leave out on counter the rest of the day, and if you have any left, refrigerate. It doesn't seem to hurt the flavor of the tomatos or basil if you let them marinate in the oil and balsamic most of a day before refrigerating.
