A delicious and beautiful way to use up a lot of tomatoes... I once had something similar at an Italian restaurant and decided to adapt it myself. I'm not sure what to call it, but it's simple and tasty.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Wash and cut the tomatoes into small pieces, about 4 parts each. Put them in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix with your hands (mixing by hand is tastier than using a spoon).
2

Peel the garlic and grate it into the tomatoes. Mix again with your hands. The garlic will enhance the flavor excellently.
At this point, if you like cilantro, chop it finely and mix it in (I happened to have some leftover cilantro from another dish, so I added it for a bit of color).
3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 10-20 minutes.
4

Enjoy it cold and refreshing. The deliciousness of this recipe depends on the quality of the tomatoes. Choose good tomatoes for the best results. :)
