Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 

b) Chop the potatoes into 1cm chunks (no need to peel).

c) Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through.

2

a) Meanwhile, tear the ciabatta into roughly 2cm chunks.

b) Pop the ciabatta onto a medium baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat well.

c) Bake the croutons on the middle shelf until golden, 8-10 mins, then remove from the oven and set aside.

3

a) Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm chunks.

b) Heat the butter (see pantry for amount) in a large frying pan on high heat. When hot and the butter has melted, add the courgette and cook until charred, 6-8 mins total. Turn only every couple of mins.

c) Once cooked, season with salt and pepper.

4

a) Meanwhile, trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

b) Halve the baby plum tomatoes.

c) In a large bowl, combine the mayo, sundried tomato paste, cider vinegar, honey and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts).

d) Season with salt and pepper.

5

a) When everything's ready, toss the courgette, potato, sliced baby gem, croutons and tomatoes through the dressing.

6

a) Share the salad between your serving bowls.

b) Crumble over the Greek style salad cheese.

c) Sprinkle over the flaked almonds.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the combination of flavours and textures, finding it tasty and refreshing. Some found the dressing too rich or vinegary.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare for most, though a few found it time-consuming or messy with multiple utensils.
  • Suggestions: Consider roasting the tomatoes for extra flavour. Try using an air fryer instead of the oven for quicker cooking.
  • Next-day meals: The salad doesn't keep well as leftovers; best enjoyed fresh on the day it's prepared.
  • Portions: Some found it filling and satisfying, while others felt it was more of a side dish than a main meal.
