Step 1

Rinse the cherry tomatoes well.

Step 2

Drain all the water and keep them for some minutes so that the water on them dries naturally.

Step 3

Then, halve the cherry tomatoes which are larger in size keeping the smaller ones intact.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, take the extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar.

Step 5

Sprinkle herbs, sugar, salt and crushed black pepper or black pepper powder.

Step 6

Add minced or crushed garlic.

Step 7

Whisk briskly so that the spices, herbs, oil, vinegar, salt and sugar are mixed evenly.

Step 8

Add the halved cherry tomatoes.

Step 9

Toss and mix so that the dressing coats the cherry tomatoes.

Step 10

Serve Cherry Tomato Salad immediately. Salads, especially tomato salads, are best served fresh. If you are unable to do so, then refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours and serve later. However, on refrigeration, the taste of the salad changes.

Step 11

While serving, you can even add some grated vegetarian parmesan cheese or some herbs or nuts.
