Whenever seeing cherry tomatoes in supermarkets (the ones that are let for free selection), I cannot resist buying some. With these cherry tomatoes, you can choose one by one then pick the firmest and freshest ones. Buying the already-packed box of these fragile little things may encounter unequal quality.
Cherry tomatoes are always best for making salad for its perfect sweetness and juiciness. The feeling of chewing a firm tomato in your mouth and feeling the juice coming out to blend with the dressing and other stuffs is great. I love this salad for its immediate refreshing effect.
