Between trips to the beach and bike rides, summer cooking should be easy and delicious. Not to mention it's always nice to eat light on hot days. Bite-sized food like these cheesy pesto tomatoes is the perfect solution.
Plus, tomatoes go with summer like bread goes with butter!
It's also easy to make extra and store in the fridge for grab and go YUM.

We love cheesy pesto tomatoes in the summer because you can eat them alone, serve them atop a slice of ciabatta bread, or even add them to a sandwich.
