Start by dicing the ripe tomatoes into small, even pieces, then chop the basil and mince the garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, stir, and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese with a splash of olive oil until creamy. Taste and adjust with salt or pepper as needed.

Spread the creamy cheese mixture on a serving platter, then spoon the marinated tomato mixture over the top, distributing evenly.

Garnish with extra basil leaves or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving with crispy crackers or toasted baguette slices.
