How people cook with it

- Garnish for salads
- Skewer for appetizers
- Roast with herbs
- Toss into pasta dishes
You can use these cherry tomatoes whole in salads or cut them in half for a more integrated flavor. Roasting them brings out their natural sweetness and concentrates their flavor, making them a wonderful side dish or addition to sauces. They are also excellent threaded onto skewers for grilling or baking, adding a pop of color and juicy texture to kebabs. Simply tossing them into a warm pasta dish at the end of cooking allows them to soften slightly and release their juices, coating the pasta beautifully.
