It brings out the flavour of the tomatoes and herbs. Just adds a salty flavour I guess. I only put about three or 4 in. Not enough to overpower. Just enough to add flavour.
Sometimes, depending on the tomatoes, I might add a bit of sugar too, but cherry tomatoes are naturally sweeter, so there's no need then.
