MOTHER IN LAW'S TOMATO SALAD

I searched extensively for this but never found one quite like this. My Italian mother in law made this simple, simple salad that is sooo delicious. It's key to let it sit for awhile at room temperature. This is easily multiplied. I put 30 minute cooking time which is the minimum sitting time but can be made ahead. Just please don't refrigerate - it makes the texture of the tomatoes funky.
