Roast Vegetable Salad with Halloumi

This roast vegetable salad is a great summer dinner full of healthy fresh greens and chopped Mediterranean veggies marinated in a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice all served on a bed of hummus.

I am eating this salad every day forever 😍

It's got a whole host of my favourite ingredients, is perfect in its simplicity and works amazingly for leftovers. I like to use courgette (zucchini), red peppers and aubergine (eggplant) which are roasted until sweet and caramelised around the edges.

You could really use any vegetables that roast well in this salad so it's great for adding any veggies that you've got wilting in the fridge.

In general I'd recommend using this recipe as a base to add whatever you've got on hand. If you're lacking the herbs and spices listed then pretty much anything else will work and if you prefer a different salad green to rocket then feel free to use that instead.

Why we love this roast vegetable salad...

It's a simple recipe which takes less than 15 minutes of hands on prep time and turns out so full of flavour 

This salad makes great leftovers which make a delicious lunch the day after first making it

It's super customisable from the veggies to the dressing, you can add any ingredients you like to make this salad your own

It's also vegetarian and gluten free which makes it ideal for a healthy weeknight dinner

Roasted Vegetable Salad Ingredients

Vegetables: I like to use courgette, aubergine and red peppers for this salad but there are loads of others that would work including sweet potato, butternut squash, mushroom and cherry tomatoes

Halloumi: For this salad I simply fry in dry pan until crispy and browned. For more tips on preparing this delicious cheese check out my how to cook halloumi post

Sun Dried Tomatoes: These add such a yummy tang to the salad

Za'atar & Sumac: These are two of my favourite spices but you could go for anything you like to change up the flavour, smoked paprika or chilli flakes would also be delicious

Rocket: These are my favourite salad greens but you could switch to anything else you like

Lemon Juice: For that added brightness

Hummus: I use store bought smeared across the plate before topping with the rest of the salad and it adds so much extra flavour
