Excellent, great way to use up a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes! Very quick to put together. Served with fried chicken & mac & cheese for a delicious summer dinner. Thanks for sharing.

ohhh this was side dish with shrimp tonight and so so successful. My friend was up with her daughter who is a carnivore and shrimp eater but not veggies etc. I did 2 lbs of shrimp and this and then i saw her lean over to her parent..i was in the kitchen as they were eating..and say "i just stole food from kay, and not the shrimp!" It is perfect. We have all had caprese salad but this is far better with the sauteeing. I used mini heirloom tomato mix and fresh lemon thyme and basil

This is a very light and refreshing summer salad. I used roma tomatoes as that's all we had. I reduced it by half, and it went in no time. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :)

A perfect summer side dish! The cherry tomatoes (fresh from the garden) were so swet that I did up the seasoning a bit--but this was the perfect accompaniment to grilled fish. And so asy! Thank you Lainey.

Very good, Lainey! Easy to put together and not the same old, same old. I followed your receipe exactly and then added about 1/4 cup of pine nuts to give it a little crunch. Tomorrow, I'm going to have it cold over some spring lettuce. Thanks for submitting.
