Fried Halloumi Salad
- (For the dressing)
- 1 tsp honey
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 small garlic clove, crushed
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- A pinch of sea salt
- 3 tbsp canola or olive oil
- (For the salad)
- 1 small red onion, very finely sliced
- 1 small cucumber, cut into chunks
- 2/3 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/3 cup kalamata or other black olives, pitted
- A large handful of mint leaves, coarsely shredded
- A large handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- A large pinch of smoked paprika
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 8 slices
- 2 tbsp canola or olive oil
- First, make the dressing. Stir together honey, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt until well combined, then whisk in oil.
- In large bowl, toss together onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, mint, and parsley.
- In small bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, and some salt and pepper. Moisten halloumi slices slightly with water, if necessary, then press them into the seasoned flour and shake off any excess. Heat oil in a large frying pan and fry halloumi slices over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden outside and slightly soft inside.
- Toss salad vegetables with dressing, turning over with your hands to make sure everything is lightly coated. Divide salad among 4 plates, put 2 pieces of the hot halloumi on each one, and serve immediately.
