Helpful Hint:
If you don't have any garlic mayo in the house:
`Peel 2 garlic cloves.
`Crush garlic clove, add a pinch of salt & macerate the garlic. It will become a paste.
`Add garlic paste into 1/4 cup mayonnaise, a dash of pepper & some fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley or dried parsley.
`This tastes better after marinating for at least 1 hour.
Roasted Cherry Tomatoes:
`Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
`Place tomatoes on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
`Drizzle olive oil over tomatoes.
`Sprinkle with kosher salt & black pepper.
`Mix well.
`Bake for 30 minutes.
