Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and core, then slice them into thin strips.
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference. Add the onions into the salad bowl with the tomatoes and bell peppers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything gently to evenly coat.
Chop the fresh basil leaves into thin ribbons (chiffonade) and sprinkle them over the salad.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss again to combine.
Serve immediately as a fresh salad or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Enjoy!
