Cooking Steps
• In a medium bowl, place haloumi and cover with water to soak.
• Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop tomato and cucumber. Thinly slice
red onion (see ingredients).
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine onion, the white wine vinegar and
a good pinch of sugar and salt.
• Microwave onion in 30 second bursts, until softened. Set aside to cool.
• Cut or tear bake-at-home ciabatta into bite-sized chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook ciabatta until golden and slightly crispy, 5-6 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and
pepper, then transfer to a large bowl.
• Drain haloumi and pat dry. Cut haloumi into 1cm-thick slices.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Remove from heat,
then add the honey, turning to coat.
• To the bowl of croutons, add tomato, cucumber, mixed salad leaves, kalamata
olives and pickled onion. Add a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine
and season to taste.
• Divide Mediterranean salad between bowls.
• Top with haloumi. Drizzle with creamy pesto dressing to serve. Enjoy!
