Ingredients
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams mixed salad greens
- 50 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the cherry tomatoes, slice them in half, and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and slow roast the tomatoes for 2 hours, checking occasionally to ensure they don’t burn.
Once roasted, remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
To prepare the vinaigrette, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
