Place 4 cups quartered cherry tomatoes in large bowl. Set aside.
Add 2 cloves garlic, ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt to small mixing bowl.
Whisk vigorously until ingredients are fully incorporated and sugar is dissolved. When ingredients are combined, pour prepared vinaigrette evenly over cherry tomatoes.
Gently fold vinaigrette into tomatoes, stirring until tomatoes are completely covered in vinaigrette. When satisfied, cover bowl with lid or plastic wrap and place bowl in refrigerator. Chill tomato salad at least 2 hours.
Immediately prior to serving, remove bowl from refrigerator and uncover. Sprinkle additional chopped fresh basil over cherry tomato salad to garnish if desired and serve dish chilled with accompaniments of choice.
