Cherry Tomato Summer Salad
This simple summer salad is as delicious as it is beautiful. Be prepared to be wowed by just how much punch it packs!
MSG is totally optional here, but a small pinch will really elevate things, as will the sherry vinegar; though white wine vinegar will do if you can find any.
