This is one of my favourite salads of recent years. I made it as part of a big spread for my daughter’s first birthday party last year, and this salad (along with the cheese straws) vanished in the blink of an eye, with everyone asking for the recipe!
Ingredients
250 g 1 1
Method
- Heat the oven to 160°C/fan 140°C/gas mark 3. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and place them cut side up on the lined baking tray. Scatter the chopped garlic over them, season with salt and black pepper, and drizzle with the olive oil.

Most of the ingredients are fine but a bit of a waste to mix them like this. I'll not be repeating this recipe and maybe I've saved you the trouble of trying it too. Salad ingredients need to work together and that can mean some surprising combinations (consider the one on ckbk with frozen peas, ginger, olives and candied peel - a recipe people ask me for whenever I've served it) but my household gave this one a unanimous thumbs-down.
Hi Rob - mixing up a range of ingredients is very much what salads are about, and I'm certainly personally a big fan of both green beans and halloumi in salads. But for you this particular combo didn't work overall?
I really liked this salad, so would definitely make it again but possibly change the ratios. I had double the quantity of tomatoes and used half as per the recipe, but could have used more (or all). Possibly my preference to make it less chickpea heavy, or next time will add more ingredients as others have suggested. Also a great way to use up the pomegranate molasses in the cupboard which is a key ingredient!
Really nice, never had pomegranate molasses before and it tastes so good!
I used this recipe as a base and added vegetables from my weekly vegetable box. Extra vegetables included; mushrooms, potatoes, beetroot, fennel and red onion. Locally produced halloumi provided extra flavour with no air miles. The dish provided food for the week with around 10 portions. 😀
