These wonderful tomatoes can be put on toasted bread with cheese to make bruschetta or you can add them to pasta dishes. They also make yummy garnishes and are good in salads. Don't throw the olive oil away when the tomatoes are gone! It will be infused with tomato flavor and is great to use in salad dressings or on pasta. The tomatoes will keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Ingredients:
