- Heat a griddle pan until hot. Drizzle the courgette with a tablespoon of olive oil, season and cook until lightly marked on each side. Set aside.

- Divide the salad leaves between four plates and top with the blanched beans and cherry tomato halves. Add some courgette slices and 3 pieces of halloumi to each plate.
- Make the dressing by mixing the remaining olive oil, basil, garlic and vinegar together. Season and drizzle a little over each salad. Serve with triangles of toasted pitta bread.
