the post where I tell you to marinate your balls

Forgive me. I can't help myself sometimes =)

Pesto Marinated Cherry Tomatoes

This deserves it's own post... but then again doesn't really... so in an effort to save your from reading a bazillion-word post this Monday morning [After all some of you have some St. Patrick's Day recovery to do!] I'll keep this short and sweet.  Oh.  So.  Sweet.  And savory!

Pesto Marinated Cherry Tomatoes

1. Grab a bucket [fine, a small container] of cherry or tomatoes

2. Marinate overnight in the fridge in your favorite pesto.  If it's super thick feel free to thin it with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and/or vinegar.

3. Serve at room temperature the following day by stabbing them with toothpicks or tossing them into your favorite salad.  The pasta salad from yesterday's post?  AMAZING with these!  Make it.
