Ingredients

• 4 cups ripe cherry tomatoes chopped
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped

4. 4 In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped basil, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
