A refreshing and flavorful tomato salad with a hint of garlic and basil, perfect for any occasion.
Slice the ripe tomatoes into wedges and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the bowl.
Crush the garlic slightly before mincing to release more flavor.
Add the thinly sliced red onion to the bowl.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl.
Tearing basil instead of cutting prevents bruising and preserves its aroma.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the ingredients in the bowl.
Use high-quality olive oil for the best taste.
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Be gentle to avoid breaking the tomato wedges.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Chilling enhances the salad's refreshing quality.
