I love how the sweetness of the roasted beetroot and apple go so well with the slight bitterness of the rocket and the salty haloumi. It’s so simple, but such a flavour punch at the same time.

You can roast the beetroot in advance which definitely cuts down the preparation time on serving day. I don’t recommend roasting the apple in advance though, it can go a little soggy if you leave it sitting around too long. Don’t forget to pop a glove on when dealing with the beetroot too unless you fancy having pink hands for days afterwards!
