Step 1
Halve the 2 cups cherry tomatoes and place them in a large bowl. Tear the 8 oz cheese into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
Step 2
Stack the 1/2 cup basil leaves, roll them tightly, and slice into thin ribbons. Add the basil to the bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk with a fork until well blended.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the tomato and cheese mixture. Gently toss everything together until the tomatoes and cheese are evenly coated.
Step 5
Let the salad sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so the flavors meld. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed, then serve.
