Lentil and rocket salad with roasted tomatoes

Preparation

Heat the oven to 200 C conventional or 180 C fan. Halve tomatoes and place them cut-side up on a lined tray. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roast 18 to 20 minutes until softened and lightly browned; cool 5 minutes.
Drain and rinse lentils if using tinned lentils. Finely slice onion. In a large bowl, whisk remaining oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard and remaining salt until smooth. Add lentils and onion, then toss so the lentils are coated.
Fold in roasted tomatoes and their tray juices. Add rocket only just before serving and toss gently for 10 seconds. Taste and add a little more salt or vinegar if needed.
