Notes

  • If you prefer grape tomatoes, those work just as well, but cherry tomatoes are usually my go-to.
  • I think it’s really fun to get the multi color cherry tomatoes you usually find at the Farmer’s Market and use those in this tomato and mozzarella salad. It makes for quite a gorgeous side dish with little effort involved.
  • Use a serrated knife to easily cut the tomatoes in half.
