Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Using a sharp knife, core out the stem part of each tomato and discard it.
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces, about 1/4-inch cubes, and place them in a mixing bowl.
Next, wash the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. Stack and roll the leaves together, then thinly slice them to create chiffonade strips. Add these to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely, then add them to the tomato and basil mixture in the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper into the mix, then gently stir everything together until well combined.
Let the tomato bruschetta topping sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve the topping over your favorite low-carb bread or eat it as a salad.
