HEALTHY, SIMPLE Roasted Tomato Salad recipe for fresh Summer tomatoes! Fresh tomatoes are roasted with olive oil for 25 minutes to create a delicious salad! Serve as a EASY salad, side dish or appetizer! You can use any type of tomatoes – including roma, cherry and heirloom!
Well we aren’t quite there yet, but we’re close. Tomato season is almost here! We put our tomato plants in the ground in the beginning of June so in the next few weeks I hope to see (and pick) all the fresh tomatoes I can dream of!
To get you ready for tomato picking season, I created this yummy Roasted Tomato Salad which is perfect as an appetizer, a side dish, a snack (I eat them with a fork!) or you can throw the tomatoes on a sandwich (like grilled cheese!) or into pasta with a cherry tomato sauce. These roasted tomatoes are super versatile and super yummy so I hope you enjoy them.
Roasted Tomato Salad
To make this fresh tomato recipe you want to start with some juicy fresh ripe vine tomatoes. Gorgeous tomatoes, aren’t they? Alternatively you can use cherry or heirloom tomatoes! In my opinion, use what’s fresh at the farmers market or use what’s growing in your garden!
Next you’ll want to slice the tomatoes up. Since the tomatoes are going to become thinner when roasting you want to start out with about 1/4 inch thick slices.
After slicing, add them to your nonstick pan and drizzle with olive oil, garlic powder and salt + pepper. Put them into the oven for 25 minutes.
After you let them cool down (so you can touch them), put them on a serving plate and then add fresh greens. The kind of green is totally up to you depending on what’s seasonal. Below, I’m using fresh spinach straight from the garden, but you can also use basil, cilantro, lettuce, arugula, etc.
I hope you enjoy this Tomato Salad recipe!

We had lots of good tomatoes coming in this year until the deer ate our tomato plants. But, my husband just panted some new tomato plants, and I think we have enough warm weather left in our southern location to get a new crop. This recipe looks like a great way to prepare tomatoes. Thank you for linking up at The Blogger’s Pit Stop Link Party. I’m sharing your link on social media.

This is one of my favorite snacks, sometimes cut in wedges, sometimes just 1/2 tomato, and sometimes slices – and always fresh basil and parsley on top! YUM!
