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

Allowing the Boursin to soften makes it easier to spread and enhances its creamy texture.
