Tomatoes: Are they a fruit or a vegetable? Answer: Fruit

Despite botanically being a fruit, they are often eaten and prepared like a vegetable. There are so many health benefits to tomatoes. We've included a graphic of the many different vitamins and minerals a tomato contains.
This time of the year you can find fresh local tomatoes at just about every produce stand.

Check out this recipe from Jenn Segal's website, Once upon a Chef, using cherry tomatoes.

Sautéed Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes

Servings: 4
Total Time: 15 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
1 pound zucchini (2-3 medium), cut into ½-inch chunks
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (I usually buy NatureSweet Cherubs)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil, plus more for garnish if desired

INSTRUCTIONS:

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the red onions and cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and pale purple in color, 7-8 minutes. Do not brown.
Add the zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, or until the zucchini are cooked but still crisp and the tomatoes have started to collapse, creating a little sauce. Stir in the fresh basil, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with more fresh basil if desired.
