These horseradish cherry tomatoes are a sophisticated yet simple vegetarian appetiser, perfect for summer garden parties or as a vibrant addition to a festive buffet. By hollowing out sweet, ripe cherry tomatoes and filling them with a sharp, creamy centre, you create a refreshing bite-sized snack that balances acidity with a gentle heat. The contrast between the cold, juicy fruit and the piquant filling makes them a moreish choice for any gathering.

Quick to assemble and naturally gluten-free, this dish relies on the quality of your produce. Use the freshest seasonal tomatoes you can find and experiment with delicate herbs like chives or chervil to add a refined finish. They are best served chilled, offering a light and healthy option that pairs beautifully with a crisp glass of white wine.
