    This was great. I think next time I will watch my asparagus more closely as I would have liked it slightly firmer. I used halloumi as that is what I had in. Everyone enjoyed it. Have already re-used the baked tomatoes for another dish.

    Made this tonight to use up some veg and was so pleased I did. The prep is not too much of a pain, as others have said. I didn't make basil oil as didn't have basil til end of process so made a preserved lemon, roast garlic and yoghurt dressing, plus some shatta on top. I LOVED it. I did add some fresh basil leaves as my ocado delivery turned up at the end which i'm sure gave extra flagvour. i WILL be making this again. Yum.

    We have made this often for xmas. Be warned - there are 7 different processes in this salad, although non of them are difficult or time consuming.

    As others have noted, this wasn't really too time-consuming considering the vegetables are chargrilled. They take so little time on a very hot griddle that by the time you have laid them all on, the first ones are ready to turn. I hadn't planned this ahead so didn't have cherry tomatoes or manouri - it worked well with halloumi.

    I agree that the prep for this salad doesn’t need a ‘warning’! It was delicious. I made it for Christmas Day and it was fantastic. I used haloumi instead of Manouri and it was absolutely fine.

    Just the roasted tomatoes are great to have on hand

    I've had my eye on this recipe for a couple of weeks....just waiting until I had the right mix of vegetables and a little bit of time. Do not be put off by the early warning in the instructions which indicates that there is a fair amount of prep time for the individual vegetables. I didn't find that to be the case compared to anything else that I might make, especially for a complex salad. It's definitely worth the time. I did make some substitutions to the recipe to fit what I had on hand and collected: locally-produced goat cheese instead of the manouri and the addition of oven-roasted edamame instead of the second courgettes (zucchini). I also did the charring on the grill instead of a griddle pan. This was an immediate hit and it's gorgeous and inviting. The basil dressing is nice with the garlic and I used my good olive oil for this one.

    Well worth making, a good summer dish. I find that baby spinach works better than rocket.

    What a delightful combination...I did find the dish a tad too oily for my liking (and I did not even use the full amount of olive oil stated in the recipe). Would recommend that less oil be used.
