Beef Jerky and Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients

• Beef jerky (low sodium) 1.5 oz
• Cherry tomatoes 1 cup
• Olive oil 1 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare the cherry tomatoes. Rinse 1 cup of cherry tomatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
   Tip: Dry tomatoes well to avoid diluting flavors if you decide to season them.
2. Add olive oil. Place the washed cherry tomatoes in a small bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss gently to coat all tomatoes evenly. This adds healthy fats to reach the target macros.
   Tip: Use extra virgin olive oil for best flavor and nutritional benefits.
3. Arrange beef jerky. Take 1.5 oz of low sodium beef jerky and arrange it on a serving plate next to the cherry tomatoes.
   Tip: If the jerky pieces are large, you can tear them into bite-sized strips for easier eating.
4. Serve and enjoy. Serve the beef jerky alongside the olive oil-coated cherry tomatoes immediately for a fresh, balanced snack.
   Tip: This snack is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored briefly if needed.

Pro tips

• For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or dried herbs (like oregano) on the tomatoes before serving.
• If you prefer a bit of crunch, chill the cherry tomatoes in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving.
