Method
step 1
Heat the grill to high. Put the feta in a baking dish and drizzle over the oil and honey, then scatter over the fennel seeds and chilli flakes. Pop under the grill for 7-10 mins until bubbling and charred at the edges. Remove and leave to cool slightly.
step 2
Meanwhile, toss the mint, asparagus, pepper, drained beans and salad leaves together. For the dressing, mix the vinegar, aïoli and mustard together, and season to taste, adding a splash of water if needed to make it a drizzling consistency. Pour this over the salad leaves and toss together.
step 3
Break the feta into chunks over the salad and drizzle over any juices from the baking dish. Serve with toasted ciabatta, if you like.
