Trim off large leaves of broccoli, and remove tough ends of lower stalks. Wash thoroughly and cut into 1" pieces. Cook broccoli, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Combine broccoli and potatoes in bowl; keep warm. Combine remaining ingredients except tomatoes in saucepan; bring to a boil, and pour over vegetables. Gently toss. Garnish with cherry tomatoes.
