Ingredients

For the salad

  • 1 package (250g) fresh goat and sheep milk halloumi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ⅓ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 package (125g) mixed salad greens (rocket, baby spinach, lollo)
  • 4–5 dried figs, sliced
  • ¼ cup roasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons pistachios, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

 

For the dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fig jam
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C with fan. Cut the halloumi into 6–8 thick slices. Place them in a small baking dish and drizzle both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle with chili flakes and pour over the honey. Roast for 12–15 minutes, until the halloumi is golden and caramelized. There’s no need to flip it.
  2. Prepare the dressing by mixing all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.
  3. Assemble the salad by arranging the mixed greens on a large serving platter. Sprinkle with the hazelnuts, pistachios, cranberries, and sesame seeds.
  4. Top with the warm roasted halloumi. Drizzle with the fig dressing and serve immediately.
