Steps:
- In a large bowl, add the lentils and mix in the pesto and lemon juice until they are distributed into the lentils. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, pepper and onion and toss through.
- Finally, mix in the herbs, reserving a few pinches for topping the salad.
- Pan fry your halloumi. Lightly oil a nonstick frying pan and turn the heat on to a medium setting. Once the pan is hot (you can test this by putting one piece of halloumi in and seeing if it sizzles) add the halloumi into the pan. Fry for 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Mix the halloumi into the salad (or just lay it on top, as pictured) and scatter the remaining herbs.

Steps:
- Cook the lentils in a pan of boiling water for 20-25 mins or until just done. Meanwhile, squeeze the juice from one lemon into a bowl. Add the onion and scrunch together with a pinch of salt to pickle slightly. Set aside.
- Finely zest the remaining lemon and set aside for the halloumi. Squeeze the juice into a jam jar or jug. Add the oil with a pinch of seasoning and the capers - shake well and set aside. When the lentils are ready, drain and tip into a large serving bowl with the chickpeas. Toss with the dressing straight away, then toss through the beets, parsley, pickled onions and their juice.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the halloumi for 1-2 mins each side or until golden brown. Toss with the lemon zest, then place on top of your salad to serve.
