Warm Halloumi Salad

If cold foods have lost their appeal, a warm salad is an ideal start to an autumn dinner party – and this Greek cheese salad won’t leave your guests too full before the main course

Dish Details:clocklow-carb


INGREDIENTS:

1 medium bulb fennel
olive oil, enough for roasting and dressing
125ml of balsamic vinegar
125g sugar
250g halloumi cheese
1 x 180g packet of rocket salad
salt and freshly ground black pepper


PREPARATION:
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Cut the fennel into fine strips and place in a baking tray. Thinly cover with olive oil (about 2 tbsp) and place in the oven for 10–15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, put the balsamic vinegar and sugar into a pan and bring to the boil. Leave to simmer for 10 minutes to make a syrup.

3. In another pan, heat a small amount of olive oil – just enough for a very thin film. Cut the halloumi cheese into thin slices and place in the hot oil for a few minutes until lightly browned, shaking the pan from side to side occasionally to prevent sticking.

4. Take the syrup off the heat. Remove the fennel from the oven and allow to cool briefly.

5. Place the rocket salad into a serving dish and add the fennel. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a few drops of olive oil, and toss.

6. Place the salad and fennel on the plates, add the halloumi cheese on top, and drizzle the syrup around the edges.
