- 1 cup couscous
- 120g bag fresh rocket or spinach
- Mint sauce, to dress
- 200g haloumi cheese, sliced
Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C fan bake. Trim the beetroot and cut into wedges, then transfer to a roasting dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then roast for 30 minutes or until tender.
- While the beetroot is roasting, place the couscous into a bowl, then pour over 1 cup of boiling water. Cover and leave to absorb for 5 minutes, then once the liquid has absorbed, fluff the couscous with a fork. Set aside to cool.
- Assemble the salad by tossing the cooled couscous and rocket with a drizzle of olive oil and mint sauce. Season to taste, transfer to a platter, then top with the roasted beetroot.
- Bring a frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Pan-fry the haloumi slices until each side is golden brown, then arrange on top of the salad.
- Dress the salad with mint sauce, then serve and enjoy.
