Salads Recipes - Herb Salad with Grilled Haloumi Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4-6

  • 1 cos lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces

  • about 50 g/2 oz rocket or young leaf spinach

  • handful of mixed herbs (dill, chervil, coriander, basil,  parsley), roughly torn

  • 250 g/8 oz haloumi cheese, cut into cubes less than 2.5 cm/1 inch 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 quantity French Dressing

  • pepper

Method:

  1. Place the lettuce in a large, shallow salad bowl with the rocket or leaf spinach and mixed herbs.

  2. Place the cubes of haloumi in a baking tin large enough to hold them in one layer.

  3. Add the olive oil, season with pepper and toss gently to coat the cheese.

  4. Cook under a preheated hot grill for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Scatter the haloumi over the salad leaves.

  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Serve immediately.

Note: Haloumi is a traditional Cypriot cheese with a firm texture and a deliciously salty flavor. It is superb for grilling or frying as it develops a golden crust and does not melt. It is available in large supermarkets or Greek or Cypriot stores.
