Ingredients
  

  • 250 g fresh asparagus
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 250 g halloumi cheese
  • 100 g baby spinach
  • 200 g salad beetroot
  • 100 g pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tsp pomegranate molasses
  • 3 tsp cold pressed rapeseed oil

Instructions
 

  • Add one teaspoon cold pressed rapeseed oil or olive oil to a frying pan. Cook the asparagus for two-three minutes until it starts to take on a little colour and soften. Sprinkle with the lemon zest towards the end. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the sliced halloumi to the pan - you may want to cook it in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for two minutes on one side and then flip the slices over.
  • Scatter the baby spinach over a large plate, roughly chop the beetroot and add, then scatter over the pomegranate seeds, the warm asparagus and warm halloumi cheese.
  • For the dressing, mix a little pomegranate molasses with some rapeseed or olive oil and pour over the top of the salad.
