6 Delicious (and Healthy!) Tomato-Basil Snacks

6 Delicious (and Healthy!) Tomato-Basil Snacks

Mix up your afternoon noshing routine in the best way possible with this #FlavorOfTheMonth.

Is there anything quite as tasty as a summer tomato complemented perfectly by fresh basil? It's a perfect warm-weather flavor combo. And while we love the version that comes from the produce aisle (or the farmer's market), there are also lots of fun (and health-conscious!) packaged foods that do this tasty duo proud.
