Ingredients

• 250 g Cherry tomatoes
• 4 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 120 g Chorizo (cured, sliced into rounds)
• 400 g Cannellini beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 small Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking tray and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred.

Step 4

While the tomatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and the fat has rendered. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cannellini beans, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley.

Step 7

Once the tomatoes are roasted, add them to the mixing bowl along with the crispy chorizo.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve the salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
