Cherry Tomato and Roasted Garlic Bread Spread
For a delicious spread, place a branch of cherry tomatoes, roasted garlic cloves, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and snipped fresh herbs in an oven-safe serving dish. Roast in a 400° oven just long enough to slightly wilt the tomatoes. Spread on toasted bread.

Baby BLT
Spread toast points with mayonnaise and top with Roma tomato slices, arugula, and bacon.

Heirloom Salad
Arrange a variety of sliced heirloom tomatoes on a platter. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with snipped chives, sea salt, and pepper.

Boursin Bites
Cut bite-size pear tomatoes in half; top with Boursin cheese and snipped basil.

Tiny Tarts
Fill mini phyllo shells with a spoonful of Brie and top with chopped, seasoned tomatoes. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes and serve immediately.

Hot Kebabs
Thread cherry tomatoes, pitted Kalamata olives, and cubed Halloumi cheese or feta on metal skewers. Grill over medium heat until warmed through.

Creamy Tomato Sauce
Puree 2 parts chopped tomatoes with 1 part plain yogurt plus lemon juice, salt, and dill to taste.  Serve on grilled salmon.

Tomato Toss
Mix hot cooked pasta with chopped seasoned tomatoes tossed with olive oil, garlic, and chopped basil. Top with grated Parmesan.

Cool Stuffed Tomato
Fill hollowed-out tomatoes with colorful pasta or rice salad.

Salsa Snack
Combine chopped tomatoes, green onion, pineapple, red sweet pepper, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, and cilantro. Serve with quesadillas.

Beefsteak Salad
Arrange slices of tomato and grilled steak on a plate. Top with red onion slices, blue cheese, crumbled bacon, and balsamic vinaigrette.

Pesto Bites
Fill hollowed-out cherry tomatoes with pesto. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
