PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
HALVED IN SALADS
Cut in half and toss into green salads for a burst of sweetness and acidity—often reduces the need for extra dressing.
ROASTED WITH HERBS
Toss with Olive Oil, garlic, and basil or thyme; roast at 400°F (205°C) for 15–20 minutes until blistered.
CAPRESE SKEWERS
Thread cherry tomatoes with Fresh Mozzarella and basil; drizzle with Olive Oil (use Balsamic Vinaigrette sparingly).
SAUTÉED SIDE DISH
Sauté in butter or Olive Oil with garlic until just bursting; finish with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
FRESH SNACK
Enjoy whole—count 5–10 tomatoes for a satisfying, low-carb snack.
KEBAB ADDITION
Skewer between proteins and veggies; grilling concentrates flavor and adds juiciness.
