Ingredients

• 250 grams halloumi cheese
• 300 grams asparagus
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes
• 400 grams canned cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Place the asparagus and cherry tomatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.

Step 4

Slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm (about 1/2 inch) thick pieces.

Step 5

Arrange the halloumi slices on the same baking sheet as the vegetables, ensuring the pieces don’t overlap.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping the halloumi halfway through, until the cheese is golden and the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

While the halloumi and vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, honey, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

In a large serving bowl, combine the drained and rinsed cannellini beans with the roasted vegetables and halloumi.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish and serve warm or at room temperature.
