Ingredients

  • 2 x 225g packs Halloumi
  • 60ml Squeezy Honey
  • Juice of ½ a Lemon
  • Fresh Thyme Leaves
  • 30ml Olive Oil
  • 90g bag Rocket & Baby Leaf Salad
  • 150g Cherry Tomatoes
  • 80g pack Pomegranate Seeds
  • 10g Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 Large Red Onion
  • 1 Large Ripe Avocado
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper

For the dressing

  • Juice of ½ a Lemon
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 50ml Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp English Mustard
  • 1 flat tsp Tomato Purée

  

Method

  1. Put the squeezy honey and lemon juice in a shallow bowl, season with some salt and pepper, scatter over some thyme leaves and mix well.
  2. Slice each block of halloumi into 5 pieces and then put in with the honey mix, spoon over the dressing and allow to soak for at least an hour in the fridge.

To make the salad:

  1. Cut the tomatoes in half. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh and chop. Pour a little lemon juice over to stop them going brown.
  2. Toss all of the above with the rocket, mint and baby leaf salad.

To make the dressing:

  1. Mix all the ingredients together and whisk.
  2. Remove the halloumi slices from the marinade. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the halloumi on both sides until brown. Place the halloumi on top of the salad, scatter over the pomegranate seeds and serve alongside the dressing.
