Recipe by Robyns Cookin

I think I got the original idea for this recipe from a South Beach diet cook book, but have modified it throughout the years. This is a good snack to bring with you to work. When I don't have cherry tomatoes on hand, I sub two or three sliced roma tomatoes (with a bit of shredded mozzarella sprinkled on top instead of the chopped cheese stick). This makes a lot of "juice" if let sit for 30 mins or longer, so sometimes I'll serve this over a bed of romaine (it's my boyfriend's favorite "salad dressing"). I use dried herbs, but I'm sure fresh would be amazing! (I've tried starting several herb gardens over the years, but now that I am finally in a house and settled in one place, hopefully I'll be more successful!) Prep time includes 30 minutes for marinating.
