Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

Sep 18, 2025 (Leave a Comment)

The sweetest cherry tomatoes are still rolling into my local market, so this easy end-of-summer salad has been on repeat. There's the simple list of ingredients that pack great flavor and no fuss, and the fact that it can be made into a full meal with some added protein, or it makes a great side salad.

Just roast the tomatoes until they blister in the oven and release their juices. Then pile the tomatoes and all the juices over the baby arugula or other tender greens like baby kale, or a mix of greens and herbs like fresh basil and oregano. No need for a dressing here-the roasted tomato juices do the job quite well. Then add crumbled cheese, in this case feta, and toss to blend.

To make this a meal, add about a cup or so of high protein pasta like chickpea or lentil pasta to the salad, or chicken tenders. It goes great along side Chicken Parmesan, Baked Halibut, or pizza.

And in case you're looking for more ideas on how to use roasted tomatoes, I love adding them to Zucchini Pesto Noodles, and Roasted Pasta Primavera.

Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

To make this a meal, add about a cup or so of high protein pasta like chickpea or lentil pasta to the salad, or chicken tenders. It goes great along side Chicken Parmesan, Baked Halibut, or pizza.
For SCD, swap out the feta cheese with shaved or grated Parmesan or other safe cheese. For dairy-free options, leave out the cheese and add the suggested protein options.
