"To elevate the flavors of this salad, we use heirloom tomatoes for their superior taste as well as their diversity of size, color, and flavor. To further intensify the flavor of these prized tomatoes, they are slow-roasted in the oven to concentrate their flavor, resulting in gloriously caramelized, deeply sweet and savory jewels that make this salad a centerpiece. Paired with plenty of fresh, peppery basil and sharp, salty feta,"
"Firstly, when roasting the heirloom tomatoes, feel free to add layers of flavor with sliced garlic cloves, herbs like thyme or oregano, or even a pinch of smoked paprika to add a subtle smoky sweetness to the final salad. Avocado makes a dream pairing with this salad, and adds a delicious creamy texture to contrast the juicy tomatoes and salty feta."
Heirloom tomatoes slow-roasted to concentrate and caramelize their natural sugars form the flavorful base of a three-ingredient salad with fresh basil and sharp, salty feta. The slow roasting enhances sweetness and savory depth, turning tomatoes into richly flavored jewels. Fresh peppery basil provides aromatic brightness while feta adds tang and salt. Optional additions can layer flavor during roasting—sliced garlic, thyme, oregano, or smoked paprika—or be stirred in afterward, such as creamy avocado for texture or mild butter beans for protein and bulk. The salad celebrates late-summer tomato harvest with minimal ingredients.
