This one's got the lot: juicy melon, salty halloumi, sticky hot honey, and enough going on texturally that it barely feels like a salad. The trick is getting the halloumi properly golden before the honey hits the pan — that last minute of glazing is where it all comes together. Chuck it over a base of melon, cherry tomatoes, and black olives, spoon over a sharp lemon dressing, and you've got a no-fuss summer dish that works as a side or a light main. Ten minutes, one pan, zero complaints.
Cool the kumara properly and the cubes hold their shape. The orange juice goes into the dressing, making a light but creamy dressing.
Cauliflower and chickpeas roast on separate trays so both crisp properly, then fold through turmeric couscous with almonds and herbs.
Rolled lamb shoulder, seared then roasted, sliced over a mint and basil gremolata with garlic, lemon and sumac. Under an hour.
