Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Turn the grill to high (240C)
- Line a large baking tray with silver foil
- Pull out a large bowl, a grater & a sieve
Grill the veg & halloumi
- Cut the carrots into 1/2cm discs. Cut each beetroot into 6 wedges
- Slice the halloumi into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with kitchen paper
- Place all onto the large foil-lined baking tray and toss with 2 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill for 10-12 mins, until golden
Finish the prep & make the dressing
- Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley. Finely chop or grate the garlic. Peel 1 orange (removing the pith) and cut into segments
- Halve the other orange and squeeze the juice into the large bowl. Add the tahini, garlic and yoghurt and mix well. Season with salt and pepper
Assemble the salad
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Deseed and thinly slice the chilli
- Allow the veg and halloumi to cool for a few mins, then add to the dressing bowl with the chickpeas, orange segments, rocket, parsley and 1 tbsp olive oil. Toss to coat in the dressing
Plate up
- Serve the salad into bowls. Scatter over the sliced chilli (for those who'd like the heat) and flaked almonds
