Cherry tomatoes always remind me of barefoot summers on my porch. Their bright pop and juicy bite bring everything to life, even a tired Tuesday. This Summer Cherry Tomato Salad is one of those easy appetizer recipes that comes together without fuss and disappears from the bowl just as fast. We start with those sweet, sun-kissed cherry tomatoes, toss in red onions for a punch, and finish with a tangy red wine vinaigrette that clings to every bite like a warm hug. Sometimes I throw in fresh basil. Sometimes I don’t. That’s the beauty of it. Whether you're serving this as a starter, piling it onto crusty bread, or just spooning it straight from the bowl (guilty), this one checks all the boxes. It’s got crunch, it’s got zing, and it’s got that laid-back charm that summer meals should have. I make this salad on repeat—and I bet you will too.
