My mother-in-law loves tomatoes.\u00a0 She goes to the farmers’ market almost every weekend and brings us cartons of beautiful grape tomatoes in beautiful colors \u2013 red, yellow, and even a dark, striped variety.\u00a0 We use them to make tomato sauce, since Mike and I don\u2019t care for raw tomatoes in our salads.<\/p>\n

We have made roasted tomato soup on many occasions and without a doubt, the roasting process intensifies the flavor of the tomatoes.\u00a0 They even become a bit sweet.\u00a0 For a dinner with my mother-in-law in mind, we set about trying to create a salad that incorporated tomatoes, but not raw ones, so it would suit everyone\u2019s tastes.<\/p>\n

We roasted tomatoes and onions, and the kitchen was filled with the most appetizing smell.\u00a0 Both Mike and I started to feel hungry, just from being in the room.\u00a0 When this salad came together, we knew we had a winner \u2013 rich, warm flavors with filling and satisfying quinoa, packaged together with refreshing lettuce leaves.<\/p>\n
