Cut the tomatoes into wedges or halve them if using cherry varieties, and arrange them in a large mixing bowl. Season with 1/4 tsp of the flaky salt and toss gently, then let them sit for 10 minutes until they begin to release their juices.

While the tomatoes rest, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, remaining 1/4 tsp salt, black pepper, and garlic, if using, in a small bowl until combined.
