Start by washing the fresh tomatoes under cold water. Cut each tomato in half or quarter them based on size and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour before serving.
