Ingredients:

6 tomatoes
780g
2 garlic cloves
6g
3 tsp olive oil
14g
2 cups green beans
460g
1/3 cup olives
72g
2 avocados
400g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

2. Prepare Tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Ensure they're roughly the same size for even roasting.
3. Season and Roast Tomatoes: Place the tomatoes on a baking tray. Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them over the tomatoes. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the top. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
4. Blanch the Green Beans: While the tomatoes are roasting, bring a pot of water to boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain the beans and set aside.
5. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
6. Assemble Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted tomatoes, blanched green beans, and olives.
7. Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and slice them into wedges. Add the avocado wedges to the salad bowl.
8. Add Feta and Basil: Crumble the feta cheese over the salad. Tear the basil leaves into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle them over the top.
9. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Gently toss everything together, ensuring every ingredient is well-coated and evenly distributed.
10. Serve: Serve the salad immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Roasting Tips: Ensure your tomatoes are roasted evenly by spreading them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This allows for even caramelization and enhances flavor.

- Prep Tips: To save time, you can prepare the ingredients, such as trimming the green beans and pitting the olives, ahead of time.

- Avocado Tips: Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture. Cut them just before serving to prevent browning.

- Serving: This salad can be served at room temperature or chilled. If serving chilled, allow the roasted tomatoes to cool completely before mixing with the other ingredients.

- Customization: Feel free to add other fresh ingredients you have on hand, such as cucumbers or red onions, for additional flavor and crunch.

This Avocado, Feta, and Roasted Tomato Salad offers a delightful mix of flavors and textures that is sure to impress. With its fresh ingredients and simple preparation, it’s a great option for a quick lunch or a side dish at your next dinner party. Enjoy the harmony of the roasted tomatoes, creamy avocados, and tangy feta, all brought together with the freshness of basil and olives.
