Steps:

- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until next day, stirring several times To serve, eat with wooden picks directly from container, or spoon tomatoes onto plates.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm cherry tomatoes. Avoid any tomatoes that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs. The more herbs you use, the more flavorful the marinade will be. Some good options include basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme.
- Make sure the tomatoes are completely coated in the marinade. This will help them to absorb all of the flavors.
- Let the tomatoes marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer they marinate, the more flavorful they will be.
- You can grill, roast, or pan-fry the marinated tomatoes. Grilling will give them a slightly smoky flavor, roasting will caramelize them, and pan-frying will give them a crispy exterior.
- Serve the marinated tomatoes as a side dish or appetizer. They can also be added to salads, pasta dishes, and pizzas.
