Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups arugula
- 0.5 pieces red onion
- 0.25 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 pieces garlic clove
- 0.5 cups crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
Wash and dry the roma tomatoes, then slice them in half lengthwise.
Brush the cut sides of the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
Place the tomatoes cut side down on the grill grates or on a baking sheet under the broiler. Roast them for 5-7 minutes, or until the skins are slightly charred and the flesh softens.
While the tomatoes cool slightly, thinly slice the red onion and finely mince the garlic clove.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together 1 tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, toss the arugula, sliced red onion, and fresh basil leaves.
Roughly chop the fire-roasted tomatoes and add them to the salad mixture.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately. Enjoy your smoky, flavorful fire-roasted tomato salad!
