Cherry tomato is a small fruited variety of tomato. It is characterized by a distinctive, tangy or sweet taste, so it is perfect as a snack itself or an addition to cheeses, meats and salads. Cherry tomatoes look nicely on a plate, especially when accompanied by lettuce, rocket, red onion rings and cucumber slices. Their refreshing taste can be enriched with garlic olive oil or vinaigrette. They can be served whole or in halves – either raw or lightly toasted.
