Background

This fig and halloumi salad is sweet and salty so it’s not only interesting but really yummy too! Perfect as a starter at a dinner party, or as a tapa/appetizer with a glass of fizzy.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp oil
4 figs
½ block halloumi
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
1 handful mixed salad leaves
Balsamic glaze, to serve
Few pieces of walnuts, optional

Instructions

Cut each fig into 4 wedges, the cheese into small cubes.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the halloumi. Stir for about 3 minutes until they become lightly browned. Add the figs and balsamic vinegar.
Let it sizzle. After a minute gently stirring, add the honey and caramelize the figs and cheese.
Scatter the salad leaves onto a platter, then arrange the figs and cheese on top. Drizzle with the cooking jus and some balsamic glaze.
Add a few pieces of walnuts, if liked.
