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.
