Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
For the best flavor, use tomatoes that are at room temperature.
A sprinkle of sea salt can enhance the sweetness of the tomatoes.
Balsamic glaze can add a touch of sweetness and acidity.
If you don't have fresh basil, a pinch of dried oregano can be used as a substitute, though it won't be quite the same.
Consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
