The yolk of the poached egg becomes part of the dressing of this healthy vegetable salad.
Ingredients
- 1kg egg tomatoes, halved lengthways
- 2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup whole-egg mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 100g baby rocket leaves
- 200g char-grilled eggplant, cut into thick strips
- 200g drained marinated artichoke hearts, cut into thin wedges
- 120g bocconcini, torn
- 1/2 cup (80g) kalamata olives
- 4 poached eggs (follow basic poached eggs recipe to end of step 4)

Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 170C. Line a large oven tray with baking paper and place a wire rack over paper.
- Step 2Place tomatoes, cut-side up, on rack. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with sugar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 1/4-1 1/2 hours or until tomatoes start to shrivel slightly around the edges and are about half the size they were. Set aside to cool completely.
- Step 3Whisk remaining oil and vinegar together then season to taste. Whisk mayonnaise, garlic and 1 tablespoon hot water together. Season well. Add vinegar mixture to rocket and toss to combine.

Notes
Hint: Roasted tomatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Serve as part of an antipasti selection with marinated feta, kalamata olives, char-grilled zucchini slices and crusty bread. Chicken salad: To make this vegetable salad more of a substantial meal, you could marinate 2 chicken breasts in olive oil and finely grated lemon rind then char-grill until cooked through. Slice diagonally and layer with other ingredients in step 3.
