INGREDIENTS

For the salad:

  • Zaatar
  • 1 tbsp warm honey
  • 1 butternut squash
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 capsicums
  • 150g baby potatoes
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 150g cherry tomatoes
  • 200g asparagus
  • 100g spring onion
  • 100g baby leaf spinach
  • 1⁄2 cup parsley, chopped
  • 2/3 cup orzo, cooked
  • 1⁄4 cup pine nuts, toasted

 

For seasoning:

  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Pepper
  • 11⁄2 tsp Sumac
  • 1/3 cup Olive oil
  • 2 sprigs of rosemary

 

For dressing:

  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1⁄2 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Sumac
  • 1 tbsp Pomegranate Molasses
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 5 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 sprigs of Rosemary
  • 3 cloves of roasted Garlic

METHOD

  • Cut up all the vegetables, besides the spinach, into sizes suitable for roasting (~ 1-inch cubes).
  • The cherry tomatoes, asparagus, and spring onion take a lot less time to cook than the other vegetables, so you want to separate them into another tray.
  • Divide the seasoning mix between the two trays and toss to evenly coat the vegetables.
  • Roast the butternut, onion, capsicum, potatoes, and garlic until golden around the edges (approx. 40 minutes) at 180°C.
  • The cherry tomatoes, asparagus, and spring onions should only take about 10 -15 minutes to roast.
  • Allow vegetables to cool.
  • In a blender, pulse all the ingredients for the salad dressing together until well combined. Set aside.
  • Place the feta into an oven dish coated with olive oil.
  • Brush the feta with the warm honey and bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes at 200°C or until golden.
  • In a salad bowl, toss the roast vegetables, orzo, spinach, and parsley with the salad dressing.
  • Top with toasted pine nuts and the baked feta crumbled on top!
