Why we love it
If you are looking for a sweet and tangy salad, that has a bit of the “wow” factor, you are going to love this roasted cherry tomato salad with feta cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette.
Between the caramelized sweetness of the cherry tomatoes, the saltiness of the feta and the tartness of the balsamic vinaigrette, you have flavor explosion that just keeps getting better with every bite.
When you cook the cherry tomatoes, the heat causes the natural sugars to caramelize, giving them a deliciously sweet and savory flavor. You can cook the roast cherry tomatoes on a stove top, in the air fryer, or even the oven.
In addition the balsamic vinegar adds a rich acidity that cuts through the sweetness of the tomatoes and gives the dish a nice balance of flavors.
And then there’s the feta cheese. The salty, tangy cheese that just makes everything better. It adds a creamy richness to the salad that brings everything together. You can also add some chopped red onions in there (unless you are serving it to small children.)
All of these ingredients come together to create a salad that is both refreshing and satisfying. It’s the perfect dish for a warm summer day, and also impressive enough to serve at a dinner party. But it’s also hearty enough to be a meal in itself, if you are looking for something delicious and healthy.
What to serve with it?
This roasted cherry tomato salad with vinaigrette can be served with a dish like this ham and mushroom quiche or this air fryer bacon and avocado sandwich.
How to store it?
You can prepare the roasted cherry tomato salad with vinaigrette a few hours in advance, but don’t add the dressing and roasted tomatoes into the salad.
The salad will become heavy and wilt with the dressing on top, so it is best to keep them separately.
Keep everything separate in the fridge, and when ready to serve remove from the fridge about 20 minutes in advance so that they get to room temperature.
Then add the dressing and roasted tomatoes onto the salad a few minutes before you are ready to serve.
