BALSAMIC TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Slice the tomatoes in half and, if using plum or larger tomatoes, core them to remove the seeds . Chop the tomatoes into chunks (whatever size you desire). If using grape, cherry, or another small tomato, cut in half so they will absorb the flavors of the dressing. There's no need to seed them.
• Place the chopped tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs (if using). Toss well.
• Transfer to a serving dish and season with salt and pepper to taste. Or plate the salad individually for your guests and garnish with a sprig of fresh oregano or basil.
