Instructions

  1. Soak the halloumi in a bowl of water for 2 hours.

Notes

  • Use a salad dressing of your choice, even in this case I didn’t feel the need to use any.
  • This makes a light lunch but you can increase the quantities to your desire to make a starter or big main course.
  • Toast the almonds if you can, for a nuttier flavour.
