Healthy, because

Tomatoes are full of lycopene, an antioxidant that can protect against sunburns and cancer, and can improve heart health. In addition, this recipe has carbohydrates, which provide energy and satiation. 

You can use heirloom tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes for a unique presentation and a bit of a different flavor.
