Ingredients:
  • 375g haloumi
  • 250g punnet cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 125.00 ml shredded basil
  • 125.00 ml shredded flat-leaf parsley
  • 20.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 12 slices black olive baguette, lightly toasted
Instructions:
  • Rinse the haloumi under cold water, then pat it dry with a paper towel. Slice the haloumi into 1cm-thick slices using a sharp knife. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the tomato, cucumber, onion, basil, and parsley. In a small jug, whisk together the vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the tomato mixture and toss gently to combine.
  • In a large heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Cook half of the haloumi for 40 seconds on each side until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining haloumi.
  • Divide the tomato and basil salad among the plates, then layer with haloumi cheese. Serve with a side of delicious olive bread.
