Marinated Cherry Tomatoes

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?

  1. First, I cut the cherry tomatoes in half and put them in a bowl.
  2. Then, I mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. I pour this marinade over the tomatoes and stir them gently to make sure they’re all coated.
  4. I let them sit for about 30 minutes so they soak up the yummy flavors.
  5. 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.
