This salad is a great way to use up leftover cherry tomatoes. It's also a really healthy and refreshing side dish. I love the combination of sweet tomatoes, creamy blue cheese, and tangy dressing. I will definitely be making this salad again.

This salad was just okay. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy, but the blue cheese was a bit too strong for my taste. I also found the dressing to be a bit too oily.

This salad was a bit disappointing. The tomatoes were bland and the blue cheese was too strong. The dressing was also too oily. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This salad was super easy to make and it turned out great! I used a mix of cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes, and I added a few extra shallots because I love the flavor. The dressing was also really good - I used a little less honey than the recipe
