75 mL
1/4 cup
lemon juice
60 mL
approx. 2 cups

500 mL
3 tbsp

Method

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions; reserve 2 tbsp (30 mL) pasta water before draining. Toss pasta with pasta water, pesto and lemon juice. Set aside to cool while doing next steps

Step 2

Toss tomatoes with 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil and half the salt. Transfer to 9-in. (23-cm) square foil pan. Cut halloumi into 8 slices; brush with remaining oil and season with remaining salt

Step 3

Grill tomatoes on medium-high heat with barbecue lid closed, turning occasionally, about 5 min., or until they begin to blister. Open lid. Remove tomatoes from grill, if ready. Grill halloumi 3 to 5 min., turning once, until softened and grill-marked.

Step 4

Stir in grilled tomatoes, avocado and arugula into reserved pasta mixture. Divide onto 8 dishes. Top with grilled halloumi to serve.

Tips

Substitute arugula with baby spinach or mixed baby kale.
