Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Red Onion
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Feta Cheese
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and Pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven will help achieve that perfect roasted texture.
- Prepare the Broccoli
Wash and cut the fresh broccoli into bite-sized florets. This ensures even cooking and makes it easy to enjoy in the salad.
- Season and Roast
Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread the seasoned broccoli on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until it’s tender and slightly charred.
- Add Remaining Ingredients
While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the other ingredients. Slice the cherry tomatoes and red onion, and crumble the feta cheese.
- Mix It All Together
Once the broccoli has cooled slightly, combine it with the tomatoes, red onion, and feta in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently to combine.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting.
- Use fresh ingredients to elevate flavors.
- Adjust cooking time based on your oven.
- Let the roasted broccoli cool slightly before mixing.
- Personalize the dressing with herbs or spices to suit your taste.
