Begin by washing the cherry tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice each cherry tomato in half and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Stack the basil leaves on top of each other, roll them into a tight cylinder, and slice thinly to create chiffonade strips. Add these to the tomato mixture.
Pour the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture. Gently toss everything together using a large spoon, being careful not to crush the tomatoes.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, if necessary.
Let the tomato bruschetta topping sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to marry the flavors.
Serve the gluten-free tomato bruschetta topping over your choice of gluten-free bread or crackers for a delightful appetizer or snack.
