  1. I do roast my tomatoes in the oven…..when I make tomato soup….. this way the tomatoes are delicious and sweet…. I also do it for salsa.

  2. I always learned that you can't put tomatoes in a cast iron pan because the acidity will cause a chemical reaction that can make you really sick.

  3. Looks yummy. FYI, recently I was fooling around making some homemade Yakitori variations. One of them was Cherry Tomato with Bacon — the cooked tomatoes and salty bacon were wonderful! I'll have to give your recipe a try.

  4. I love cherry tomatoes and bell peppers and everything he added to the salad, though I think I would’ve cut the bell peppers strips down to the size of the cherry tomatoes for balance. I definitely will try this chard salad.

  5. Silly question…Don’t the tomatoes hurt the seasoned cast iron finish? I am always afraid of cooking anything tomato/acidic in my cast iron pans….or have I been following a myth?

  6. I notice that my comment on the dangers of cast iron skillets, along with a link to Dr, Stephens Gundry's video explaining why they are dangerous, is no longer here. Since America's Test Kitchen does so many videos on kitchen equipment, why not look into some of his information rather than just deleting my comment?

  7. Carol Fisch asked down below about the "cast iron vs. tomato/vinegar" situation. This was also my question! Anybody? It would be so great to open the world of my cast iron to tomatoes and acidic things, but every time I've done it, I have to go through the whole seasoning thing again. What are any of your experiences??

  8. I must say this is one of the best salad I ever had (and made). It is fresh, flavorful and the char puts it at another level. The instruction are clear and precise. It is a one pan dish….with some bread it is a complete meal, no leftover. Thank you.

  9. There's a Spanish chef ("Gypsy Chef", Comer La Vanguardia channel) who tears up potatoes like you tear up the cheese, for a Spanish "tortilla" omelette. I tried it but it's kind-of hard to tear up a potato.

  10. How much olive oil have we added already? It's no more a healthy dish with so much oil!

  11. My nephew made this salad for me when I was visiting and it was absolutely outstanding. It’s simple presentation and the flavors were just wonderful.

  12. I’ve been cooking tomatoes in cast iron for 60 years and I haven’t died or gotten I’ll. Neither did my family. We are all very healthy, but I would never do tomatoes in aluminum! Now that is frightening! That looks amazing, but the amount of salt is crazy.

  13. Amazing, this is the best cherry tomato recipe I have ever made. Even with having to cook the tomatoes and peppers it is still a quick and impressive salad to put together. It is defintely on the menu again for next week. Thank you!!

  14. I'm going to dump the fruit into the air fryer on the highest setting and char it instead. I know I'll miss out on some of the texture and flavor, but I'm hellbent on being lazy today. Thanks for the inspiration!

  15. Mmmmm… immediately thought of adding a really great bread in chunks for Panzanella… OR … toasted Italian bread, rubbed w/fresh garlic, topped with the salad… Bruscchetta😋 YUM!!!
