Left-over roast beef, along with roast chicken is my favourite thing to put into a salad the next day. It still has all the flavour – sometimes more and makes it super quick and easy to put a meal together. The sweetness of the mango goes really well with the saltiness of the halloumi and with them both chargrilled, it’s a dream!

The mango can be a little difficult to grill so a less ripe mango works best, always ensuring the grill pan is piping hot before you place down the mango. Only use a splash of coconut oil otherwise the mango will absorb the oil and go soggy pretty quickly.

The beef was done for a previous meal but i’ll add it in here for convenience, you don’t need a whole roast beef fillet for the meal so feel free to chop half off and save for another time.
