Did you know that the primordial tomato was only yellow? Then why not give it its due? We've got it covered!

Yellow cherry tomatoes are a variant of the common red tomato, native to Central and South America. They are prized precisely for their sweeter and more delicate taste than red tomatoes, making them perfect for dishes such as pesto, where a less acidic flavor is desired.

In fact, today we propose, instead of the usual pesto alla Genovese, a pesto made with these tomatoes. Yellow cherry tomato pesto is very versatile: in addition to dressing pasta or gnocchi, you can use it as a base for bruschetta, a dressing for grain salads (such as spelt or barley), or even as a sauce for meat or fish dishes. It's also a great option for those on vegetarian diets or who want to reduce the use of higher-calorie sauces!

Is your mouth watering already? Then all you have to do is read the recipe and discover all the secrets to prepare a unique and flavorful yellow cherry tomato pesto ready to wow everyone!
