Method
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/fan220°C/gas 9. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and place the tomatoes on top, cut-side up. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C/fan130°C/gas 2 and roast for a further 1 and a quarter -1 and a half hours, until they have shrivelled in size and are lightly browned around the edges but still juicy in the centre. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over the courgettes, season and cook on a hot griddle or frying pan for 2 minutes each side, until lightly charred. Set aside to cool. In a large salad bowl, mix together the courgettes, cucumber, onion, olives and salad leaves.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing, season well with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Just before you’re ready to serve, add the feta and tomatoes to the salad, then gently toss with the salad dressing. Divide between 4 dinner plates to serve.

If time is a little tight, look out for semi-dried or SunBlush tomatoes in your local supermarket or deli, and use instead of our slow-roasted tomatoes.
