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.
