ROASTED TOMATO SALAD
A starter or side dish, but I could eat these as a main course with some good bread. I have been making these for years now but mainly in the summer months. Its a Delia Smith recipe. I probably use more garlic. If you made these a few times you will find you don't have to refer to the recipe anymore, just get your roasting tin full of the tomatoes and add the seasonings. The dressing is easy to remember too. This is a top summer dish. Can be made in advance.

ROASTED TOMATO VINAIGRETTE WITH GRILLED ROMAINE
A simple light and perfect salad. Perfect summertime salad. This dressing is great with fresh market produce, but I have found it is a great way to use those "mid year" tomatoes which sometimes are a bit bland. The roasting really brings out a sweetness.

Steps:
- Tomatoes -- Roast the tomatoes. In a 400 degree oven or on a grill, just slice the tomatoes in half and grill or roast until slightly semi soft. No need for seasoning at this point. Just 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and let cool before chopping.
- Dressing -- Rough chop the tomatoes and add to a small bowl. Add in all other ingredients and mix well with an immersion blender, a regular blender or a small food processor. Puree until you have a smooth texture. Chill until ready to use.
- Romaine -- Slice each romaine heart lengthwise and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the romaine, on either an outdoor grill, a grill pan, or even a saute pan -- anything you have. Just 3-4 minutes per side until lightly brown and slightly wilted.
- Serve -- The warm romaine with the chilled vinaigrette and fresh grated parmesan. ENJOY!
- Note: This dressing is great over fish, grilled vegetables, or pretty much anything. It is a wonderful dressing.

ROASTED ROMA TOMATOES
Simple, fresh ingredients that are amazing together. Roast tomatoes in the oven or on your grill; you want them cooked but still firm, definitely not mushy.
