Fattoush Salad With Grilled Halloumi
- For Pita Chips
- 2 large pita bread, split in half and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon za'atar herb blend
- salt and pepper to taste
- For Salad
- 1 large English cucumber, chopped
- 3 large tomatoes, cored and chopped, or, 1 1/2 pints cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 bunch parsley, chopped
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon za'atar spice blend
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tsp, olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- small package halloumi cheese, rinsed, dried and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- Preheat oven to broil. Toss pita wedges on a baking sheet with olive oil, za'atar and a touch of salt and pepper and evenly spread out on pan.
- In a large bowl toss together prepared cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, fresh herbs and za'atar, with lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper.
- Put pita in preheated oven and watch them carefully under the broiler, moving them around a bit. They'll brown very quickly. When all toasty, remove from oven, let cool, then break into smaller bite-sized pieces.
- To a small non-stick frying pan, add 1 tsp olive oil and the slices of halloumi cheese. Cook on high heat until browned on one side, then flip and brown on the other.
- Just before serving, toss pita chips into the big salad bowl and toss well. Dish out on plates and top each dish with a couple slices of warm grilled halloumi cheese.
