Cherry Tomato Recipes for Snacks

The tiny shape of the tomatoes makes it really easy to consume and also to be added to different dishes as a topping. Ricotta and Cherry Tomato Crostini is a classic example of how a simple dish can also taste delicious when you add cherry tomatoes to it. The slight sweetness of the ricotta with the tanginess of tomatoes and flaky sea salt can be enjoyed alongside a hot soup on a winter's day! The juicy tomatoes make a wonderful addition to hot and cold salads as well. Since they stay well even after being cooked, they can be added to many school and office lunch salads.
