Roast salad

I am not sure exactly what makes something a salad, but this has lettuce, carrot and tomatoes, so surely must be salad.

Serves 2

1 gem lettuce (or other small lettuce)

10 cherry tomatoes

2 tbsp olive oil

1 medium carrot

Herbs eg rosemary, thyme, bay

Salt and pepper to season

Dressing (mayonnaise, vinaigrette, whatever you fancy)

Put the tomatoes in a roasting tin with the herbs, the olive oil and the salt and pepper.

Roast in a hot oven (220°C) for 10 mins

Peel and slice the carrots and add them to the roasting tin and roast for a further 10 minutes

Cut the lettuce in two, length ways, and add to the roasting tin cut side down

Roast for a further 10 mins or until the lettuce is lightly browned on the bottom. The tomatoes should be soft and a bit dried but not burnt and the carrot should have softened.

Serve with the dressing, makes a lovely side dish to roast lamb or anything you fancy really. I like it with home made mayonnaise (ask google how to make it - easy once you get the knack, I love it and could eat it by the spoonful (!) but is rather fattening so not advisable)
