Haloumi, tomato and beans salad

Method

1. Set the oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise, arrange in a roasting pan, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt, pepper and thyme and bake for 30 minutes until soft.

2. Cook the beans or asparagus in simmering salted water for 5 minutes.

3. Rinse the haloumi, and cut into slices a little less than 1cm thick. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non stick frying pan, and sizzle the haloumi slices until golden brown, taking care not to burn them. Turn briefly and sizzle the other side.

4. Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, capers and parsley together. Drain the beans or asparagus and toss in the dressing. Arrange tomatoes and beans or asparagus on four dinner plates, and top with halloumi. Drizzle the dressing on top and serve with lemon.
