Ingredients
To make Halloumi and Chick Peas, you'll need:
  • 200g green beans, trimmed
  • 100g tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • Juice and zest of a lemon
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
  • 1 red onion, chopped or sliced finely
  • 4 ready-roasted peppers
  • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 150g rocket and spinach leaves
  • 150g halloumi cheese, sliced

Method

  • Place enough water to cover the green beans in a medium- size saucepan. 
  • Bring the water to the boil. 
  • Add the beans and boil for 3 minutes. 
  • After 2 minutes, add the chickpeas.
  • Drain the beans and place the hot water aside.
  • Place the chickpeas and the green beans in a large bowl.
  • Mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, a tablespoon of olive oil, and a tablespoon of red chilli, and pour onto the green beans and chickpeas.
  • Place the red onion in a bowl, then pour on top the water you have set aside from boiling the beans. 
  • Allow the red onion to soften (this should take around 4 minutes) and drain the excess water away.
  • Add in the ready-roasted peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, rocket, spinach, and the (now softened) red onion into the bowl containing the green beans and the chickpeas.
  • Toss everything to ensure an even coating of the dressing.
