Method

Heat 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil in a medium frying pan with a lid over a medium heat, add the coriander seeds and cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low, season with salt and pepper, cover and cook for 5 minutes more.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to a serving dish. Add the finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange, another 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil and the honey to the pan. Mix well to make a dressing, then leave to cool slightly.
In a bowl, toss the cucumber (halve it lengthways, scoop out the seeds, then cut into half-moons), lettuce leaves and olives with rosemary and black pepper with the feta and put in the tomato dish. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the dressing from the pan and drizzle it over the salad, then serve with warm crusty bread or pitta.
