Hot Lemon Honey Halloumi Chopped Salad with Butter Beans and Radicchio
Hot Lemon Honey Halloumi Chopped Salad with Butter Beans and Radicchio
I have been really enjoying creating this series. There is something very satisfying about chopping everything together in a mess like this. Maybe this says more about me than the salad. Anyway, this halloumi is a total joke. You have to make it. The spicy honey lemon combination with this cheese is a real winner. This concept will work with green leaves if you can’t find these fancy ones. This is lunch or dinner sorted!
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
Salad:
Handful of roasted carrots (about 3 per person, roasted with salt, pepper, and olive oil at 190°C for 30 minutes until golden and sticky)
300g mixed Tardivo and Castlefranco leaves
90g butter beans
Hot Honey Halloumi:
2 tbsp olive oil
3 slices halloumi cheese
Good few pinches of chilli flakes
1 tsp honey
Squeeze of lemon juice
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Dressing:
1 tsp French mustard
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Salad: Prep all the leaves and chop them on a large chopping board with the roasted carrots until you get nice bite-sized pieces. Add to a large bowl along with the butter beans.
Make the Dressing: In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the dressing and taste to check the seasoning. Pour over the salad and toss together. Pile onto a plate.
Cook the Halloumi: Set a large frying pan to medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the halloumi slices. Let them fry for 3 minutes until golden underneath. Add a good pinch of chilli flakes over the top of each slice and flip them over. Turn down the heat a little and spoon over the honey, then squeeze the lemon juice on top. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the golden side. Fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Assemble and Serve: Top the salad with the hot honey halloumi slices. Eat straight away.
