ROASTED TOMATO SALAD



Roasted Tomato Salad image

A starter or side dish, but I could eat these as a main course with some good bread. I have been making these for years now but mainly in the summer months. Its a Delia Smith recipe. I probably use more garlic. If you made these a few times you will find you don't have to refer to the recipe anymore, just get your roasting tin full of the tomatoes and add the seasonings. The dressing is easy to remember too. This is a top summer dish. Can be made in advance.

ROASTED TOMATO VINAIGRETTE WITH GRILLED ROMAINE



Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette With Grilled Romaine image

A simple light and perfect salad. Perfect summertime salad. This dressing is great with fresh market produce, but I have found it is a great way to use those "mid year" tomatoes which sometimes are a bit bland. The roasting really brings out a sweetness.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 30m

Yield 6 salads, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 heads romaine lettuce (usually 1 package. Slice lengthwise to make 6 servings)
salt
pepper
olive oil (to drizzle on the romaine to grill)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated to finish the salad
6 plum tomatoes, cut in half and lightly seeded (roasted and rough chopped)
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 -3 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup fresh basil, rough chopped
1 large shallot, rough chopped
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Tomatoes -- Roast the tomatoes. In a 400 degree oven or on a grill, just slice the tomatoes in half and grill or roast until slightly semi soft. No need for seasoning at this point. Just 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and let cool before chopping.
  • Dressing -- Rough chop the tomatoes and add to a small bowl. Add in all other ingredients and mix well with an immersion blender, a regular blender or a small food processor. Puree until you have a smooth texture. Chill until ready to use.
  • Romaine -- Slice each romaine heart lengthwise and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the romaine, on either an outdoor grill, a grill pan, or even a saute pan -- anything you have. Just 3-4 minutes per side until lightly brown and slightly wilted.
  • Serve -- The warm romaine with the chilled vinaigrette and fresh grated parmesan. ENJOY!
  • Note: This dressing is great over fish, grilled vegetables, or pretty much anything. It is a wonderful dressing.
