Halloumi, Beetroot & Red Chilli Salad

Quick lunch for one

Try halloumi with beetroot and sliced fresh chilli for a quick, tasty light lunch.

Ingredients

  • 3-4 slices of halloumi cheese
  • 2 pieces of cocktail beetroot roughly chopped
  • 5 or 6 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 red chilli finely sliced seeds retained if you like it hot!
  • 2 spring onions or 1 large salad onion sliced
  • generous handful of salad leaves
  •  a drizzle of rapeseed oil or extra v olive oil
  • a squeeze of lemon or lime

Method

Salad Onions Large

  1. Lightly toss the salad leaves in the oil and lemon or lime.
  2. Dot the halved cherry tomatoes and beetroot around the salad and scatter the spring onion.  I prefer these lovely large salad onions as less fiddly.
  3. Using a little rapeseed oil pan fry the sliced halloumi on a medium heat for a few minutes on each side until golden and part charred.
  4. Carefully place the halloumi onto the salad and sprinkle with the onion and chilli.
  5. Squeeze a little more lemon or lime juice over to zest it up.
