making cherry tomato skewers

As a kid, I would never even consider eating a tomato!  Not sure why, because, as an adult, I look forward to this time of year when local tomatoes are beautifully ripe and ready to enjoy!

There are so many wonderful ways to eat tomatoes.  You can’t beat a tomato tart when made with fresh, ripe produce!  (Click here for a great recipe.)

Another fabulous, but very simple way to eat a tomato is grilled.  And, skewers of cherry tomatoes, hot off the grill, are so very flavorful!  I love eating grilled cherry tomatoes on toast spread with goat cheese.  Or, just all on their own, sprinkled with salt!

Grilling skewers of cherry tomatoes is simple enough.  If I am using them on toast, I just grill them, as is, on skewers.  I season them once they are on the bread.  If I am eating them plain, I first toss them in a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper before skewering and grilling.  Either way, they grill up fast and taste fabulous!  Heating them up makes their flavor explode!

So, if you have a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes…or, have just picked some up at your local farmers market, be sure to try some skewered and heated on the grill!  Tasty!
