Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, cut-sides up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and crumbled bay leaf. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Slow-roast tomatoes in the preheated oven until shriveled and slightly caramelized, about 2 hours.

04

Step

While tomatoes are roasting, toast pine nuts in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat, shaking frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add French green beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. (8 minutes)

06

Step

In a large bowl, combine the roasted tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, green beans, arugula, and torn basil. (3 minutes)

07

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, whole-grain mustard, minced garlic, and honey. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine. Just before serving, stir in the crumbled feta cheese. (2 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider using a high-quality, fruity olive oil.
Roasting the tomatoes longer will result in a more intense, concentrated flavor.
Feel free to substitute goat cheese for feta, or add other fresh herbs like mint or parsley.
The salad can be prepared ahead of time, but add the feta just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.
