Air Fryer Cherry
Tomatoes
I am tomato obsessed and don’t get me started about how much I love cherry tomatoes and how much I can binge on them. Cherry tomatoes are even my healthy car snack. In the summer I will buy a small tub of cherry tomatoes and by the time Dominic has driven us home, I have eaten them all. I am lucky to call Portugal my home and even luckier that cherry tomatoes are available all year around with no shortages. They are cheaper and there are more varieties in the summer, but if I want a cherry tomato binge in December then I can! When I was pregnant with my first child Kyle, tomatoes were my big craving. I would eat them 24/7 and no wonder now that Kyle at almost 19, really doesn’t care for tomatoes. I must have eaten too many! When I do cook with cherry tomatoes in the air fryer, it is usually to add a topping on a meal such as our air fryer homemade pizza or our air fryer frittata. But what I wanted to show you today is just how AMAZING cherry tomatoes are cooked in the air fryer and served as a cute tomato salad for serving with summer dinners.

How To Air Fry Tomatoes?
Making an air fryer cherry tomato salad is EASY and is one of those recipes Jorge (my 3 year old) loves to get involved with.
Cherry tomatoes are halved ready for making the salad.Tomatoes are loaded into a mixing bowl, tossed in olive oil and seasoning and then placed into the air fryer basket.After air frying the cherry tomato salad is ready for any extras to be added in and ready to be placed into containers ahead of taking as a potluck side dish.
Do You Cut Cherry
Tomatoes For A Salad?
Yes you do. Its much better if you cut your cherry tomatoes in half prior to cooking your salad. They won’t all go wrinkly and it gives the chance for all sides of your cherry tomato to be seasoned. Though what I tend to do when making a salad for serving with other things, is to half most of the cherry tomatoes and leave some of them whole. Though its all about personal choice.
