Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to roast the tomatoes.
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under cold water.
- Cut each tomato into quarters and remove the seeds if desired.
- Place the tomato quarters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the tomatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, wash the arugula and basil leaves thoroughly.
- Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the 5 cups of arugula and 1/2 cup of basil leaves.
- Add the cooled, roasted tomatoes to the bowl.
- Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese over the salad.
- Gently toss the salad to mix all the ingredients well.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding a bit more salt and pepper if necessary.
8. Optional Additions:
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of balsamic vinaigrette or a squeeze of lemon juice over the salad before serving.
- You could also include other toppings like toasted pine nuts or croutons for added texture.
9. Serve:
- Serve the Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Overripe tomatoes can become too mushy when roasted.
- Roast tomatoes at a high temperature to get a nice caramelization and enhance their sweetness.
- To save time, you can roast the tomatoes in advance and store them in the fridge for up to two days. Just bring them to room temperature before adding them to the salad.
- Feel free to add extra toppings like toasted pine nuts or a drizzle of balsamic glaze to elevate the flavors.
- Ensure the arugula is completely dry after washing it; otherwise, it could make the salad watery.
This Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Salad is not only easy to prepare but also bursts with fresh and savory flavors. The combination of roasted tomatoes, peppery arugula, and rich parmesan creates a harmonious and satisfying dish that is sure to impress.
