My BF & his son would give this a thousand stars if they could! They both thought it absolutely delicious. I used fresh tomatoes from my garden; I don't have a food processor, so just diced everything small. I on the other hand would give it 4 stars. Maybe next time (and there will be a next time if I know what's good for me) I will saute the garlic for just a bit. I think that would make it better for me by cutting down on the harshness of the raw garlic. It could be that my garlic was extra strong although it didn't seem to bother the BF & son the least little bit!
