Ingredients
- 2 x 180g Riverina Dairy Cyprus Style Haloumi, sliced
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 Lemon, juice & zest
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 160g Rocket Lettuce or preferred lettuce leaves
- 6 purple Figs, halved
- Basil Leaves, handful
- 50g Walnuts, toasted & chopped
Fried Haloumi and Fig Salad
- Preheat a frying pan over medium-high heat cook the haloumi for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the cooked haloumi to a plate and set aside.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, figs, basil, and grilled haloumi slices. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon zest & juice, and extra virgin olive oil. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
NOTE: If you prefer grilled figs: Lightly brush figs with olive oil and place under a grill. Cook under medium heat until figs are softened and brown slightly, about 5 to 8 minutes.
