Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages (5.3 oz each) Boursin

- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, pressed or very finely minced

Instructions
- Allow the Boursin to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften.
- In a small bowl, mix the chopped tomatoes, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

- Drizzle the dip with balsamic reduction and garnish with fresh basil. Serve with crackers or crostini.
Notes
Using vine-ripened or Roma tomatoes enhances flavor.
Balsamic reduction can be drizzled over salads as well.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
