I love making these marinated cherry tomatoes. They’re so fresh and yummy! The tomatoes soak up all the flavors from the marinade, and they taste amazing. I often make them when I want something light and delicious. They’re great as a snack or to put in salads. My kids enjoy them too, and they’re so easy to make!
How do I get my kids to eat them?
My kids love these marinated cherry tomatoes because they’re juicy and have a little bit of a tangy flavor from the balsamic vinegar. I let them help by cutting the tomatoes in half (they love doing that!). Sometimes I even add a little sprinkle of cheese on top to make them more fun for my kids. They end up eating them without any fuss!
What do I need to make them?
- 2 cups of cherry tomatoes (I cut them in half)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
How do I make them?
- First, I cut the cherry tomatoes in half and put them in a bowl.
- Then, I mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- I pour this marinade over the tomatoes and stir them gently to make sure they’re all coated.
- I let them sit for about 30 minutes so they soak up the yummy flavors.
- After 30 minutes, I give them one last stir and serve them as a snack or put them in a salad.

How do I store them?
If I have leftovers, I put them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge. They stay good for about 2 days.
Tips for making them even better:
- If I want more flavor, I can add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- If I want a little spice, I can add some red pepper flakes to the marinade.
