Start by cutting the tomatoes into small pieces, aiming for about 1.5 cups of diced tomatoes.

If using Roma tomatoes, note they are less watery; if using smaller tomatoes, cut them into eighths or smaller for easy dipping.

Prepare the tomatoes by dicing them small enough to fit on a chip.

Gather fresh basil from your garden, and dry it off to remove excess moisture.

Chop the basil into small pieces, using scissors if necessary, and add to the bowl with tomatoes.

Add garlic cloves to the mixture; jarred minced garlic can be used as a substitute.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the dip is not too watery.

Serve the dip with chips or crackers.
