Instructions

1 Roast lentils

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Drain and rinse the lentils. Place them on a lined baking tray, spreading them in an even, thin layer. Roast for 5 min.

2 Coat lentils

Add the olive oil, honey, cumin powder, salt and a pinch of chilli flakes (spicy!) to a small bowl and whisk until fully combined. Drizzle over the lentils and roast for 10–15 min further or until the lentils are crispy.

3 Prep vegetables

Meanwhile, deseed and finely slice the pepper. Peel and slice the carrot into matchsticks. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the lettuce roughly. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds.

4 Fry vegetables

Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the carrot and pepper and cook with a pinch of salt for 5 min or until starting to soften. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 min further. Transfer the vegetables to a plate. Reserve the pan. *check to see if it needs to rinsed

5 Fry halloumi

Cut the halloumi into slices. Return the pan to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the halloumi and fry for 1-2 min on each side until golden brown.

6 Assemble salad

Arrange the lettuce, cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots and cherry tomatoes on a serving plate. Top with the crispy lentils, fried halloumi slices, fresh mint leaves and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and season with freshly ground black pepper.
