To roast peppers

Remove skin from peppers by cutting in half and roasting under a grill until the skin is scorched. Place in a plastic bag for a few minutes and when cool the skin should peel off. Slice the peppers thinly and place on a tray with a drizzle of olive oil. Bake in a hot oven gas mark 6/ 160C/400F until they begin to char around the edges. Remove from oven, allow to cool and shake a generous amount of chopped mint over the peppers.

Baked cherry tomatoes

Wipe over the tomatoes and place on a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and coat evenly. Shake black pepper and rosemary over and bake in the oven until the skin begins to pop. Set aside.

To assemble salad: Place prepared lettuce leaves in the centre of the serving plate. Slice the avocado and coat with lemon juice. Place on the lettuce leaves. Top with roast peppers. Put 3 cherry tomatoes around plate. Place 1 boilie cheese on top of peppers and put 3 black olives around plate.

Finish by drizzling the vinaigrette around the plate. Serve.
