Roasted Cherry Tomatoes on Lemon Yogurt: A Mediterranean Salad Worth Talking About

Chef Jack Ovens shows how to make a Mediterranean roasted tomato salad featuring cumin-spiced cherry tomatoes slow-roasted with garlic, lemon peel, and fresh herbs, then served over a tangy lemon Greek yogurt base. The dish is finished with fresh mint, oregano, and extra virgin olive oil, and pairs perfectly with crusty bread. Ideal for any season and easy to scale up.
