Ingredients

For the salad

  • 100g salad leaves (of choice)
  • ½ medium red onion (sliced)
  • 100g cherry tomatoes
  • 30g beetroot (grated or sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for cooking)
  • 70g halloumi
  • 20g shelled pistachios (chopped)

For the dressing

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon orange juice (squeezed from a fresh orange)
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the salad. Wash the leaves if necessary and serve them between 2 salad bowls. Between the 2 bowls add in the sliced red onions, cherry tomatoes and beetroot.
  • Heat a frying pan with the olive oil on a medium heat. While the pan is heating, cut the Halloumi cheese into slices of your desired thickness. Halloumi can be quite wet so dry the slices with paper towels. Be gentle with this to avoid the halloumi splitting.
  • Place the slices of halloumi cheese into the frying pan and fry the halloumi slices for 2 minutes on each side. Once the halloumi is a golden-brown colour remove from the pan.
  • Add the halloumi to the salads and then sprinkle on the pistachios. Mix together the ingredients for the dressing and drizzle on the salads. Time to enjoy.
