Warm Wax Bean Salad with Roasted Tomatoes and Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing

Total:: 50 min
Active:: 20 min

Yield:: 4 to 6 servings

Level:: Easy

Ingredients

Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing:

1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained, plus 1/3 cup of the oil (or use olive oil)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Salad:

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups mixed color cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound wax beans (or green beans if not available), trimmed

Directions

For the sun-dried tomato dressing: Put the sun-dried tomatoes, red wine and balsamic vinegar, honey and some salt and pepper in a blender and puree until smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil until well combined.

For the salad: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a little salt.

Toss the tomatoes and red onions with the olive oil and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Put the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the beans to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

Remove the tomatoes and onions from the oven after 20 minutes, add the beans and toss. Roast for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the bean mixture to a serving bowl and toss with some of the sun-dried tomato dressing.

Cook's Note

Save any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
