Do You Cut CherryTomatoes 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.
