Your new fav summer salad recipe is here! Roasted tomatoes, pesto, arugula, halloumi and a squeeze of lemon.

It’s packed with flavour AND perfect for any summer meal. Here’s how to make it:

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups baby tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp coarse salt
ground pepper
8 slices halloumi cheese (about half-inch slices)
6 packed cups arugula
1/4 cup toasted nuts I used pine nuts but almonds or walnuts would work too
lemon
4 tbsp prepared pesto

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix together tomatoes, olive oil, thyme, garlic powder, coarse salt and a pinch of pepper.
3. Spread tomatoes in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until tomatoes are soft and fragrant.
4. To make the halloumi, heat a medium frying pan to medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the halloumi about 3-5 minutes per side, until a bit golden on each side. Set aside.
5. To make the salad, divide the arugula between two large plates.
6. Divide the remaining ingredients amongst the two plates: roasted tomatoes, toasted nuts, pesto and juice from a quarter of a lemon. Toss and taste, adding more pesto or lemon to your liking and then top the salad with the halloumi slices.
