UN-BEETABLE VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Rinse the halved leeks thoroughly and roughly slice. When the beetroot has 20-25 minutes to go, add the sliced leeks to the tray and roast for the remaining time until softened and charred.
NUTS ABOUT WALNUTS
Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CRISPY HALLOUMI
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi slabs until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
FOR SOME FRESHNESS
In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded salad leaves, the cucumber ribbons, the roasted beetroot & leeks, a drizzle of olive oil, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning.
GRAB A PLATE
Plate up the roasted beetroot & leek salad. Top with the orange segments and the grilled halloumi. Scatter over the radish slices and the toasted walnuts. Serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
