I love dried herbs they add flavour to anything. My favourites are oregano, thyme and rosemary. When I was in Greece they served a salad dressing like this over their feta Greek salad. I used halloumi in mine but I tried to recreate the dressing and it was yummy. Ingredients (serves 2) For the Salad…

Halloumi on a Green Salad of Shaved Asparagus, Avocado and Watercress topped with Homemade Fridge Pickles
This salad is so summery and seasonal. I normally fry the halloumi in a frying pan but for my photos I thought I would griddle it instead. As soon as I did I realised I would never pan fry it ever again. As the halloumi is slightly raised when cooking it completely removes the ‘squeak’…
Halloumi and Lentil Salad with a Sweet Chilli Dressing
Halloumi takes on flavours really well and the Thai sweet chilli sauce adds such a nice flavour against the salty, creamy halloumi and earthy lentils. I always replace a block as it’s a quick healthy chuck together lunch. The other thing I keep in the cupboard is a box of puy lentils. I have learnt…
Zaalouk with Crispy Halloumi and Olives
I wanted to try a different recipe other than baba ganoush with charred aubergine. I found this recipe on the olive magazine website. It has all those middle eastern flavours I love, smokiness from the spices and aubergine, sweetness from the tomatoes and freshness from the coriander and lemon. I used a spoon to pile…
Crispy Saganaki on a Bed of Roasted Vegetable Whole Wheat Couscous Recipe
Happy new year everyone, I hope you had a great festive season. So I’m at that stage where I fancy food that isn’t too rich. Couscous is always a nice light lunch and saganaki isn’t a rich cheese either it’s the greek version of halloumi. I like to roast vegetables like peppers and the sweet…
Rosemary and Maple Baked Delicata Squash with Halloumi and Tomatoes Recipe
This time of year is great for squashes and I am pleased as they are delicious. I love delicata squashes as they are a perfect size for lunch and you get loads of fibre as you can eat the skin. The textures in this dish are amazing as you get the soft sweet flesh from…
Halloumi on Courgette Ribbons with Sweet Chilli Dressing Recipe
We tend to eat a lot of halloumi in our house so I am always trying to find new ways of using it. I hadn’t thought about going down the asian route before but the sweet chilli dressing worked so well with the halloumi. I am growing courgettes this year and this is one of…
Wild Rice with Halloumi and Chorizo with an Orange, Pomegranate and Walnut Dressing Recipe
This salad was simple but really tasty I always think chorizo and halloumi work so well together. I love wild rice as it keeps a bit of crunch and has a nuttier flavour. It is simple but really satisfying and each mouthful is really tasty. I had mine in my lunchbox at work and it…
Zaatar Halloumi on a Spinach and Chickpea Salad with a Mint, Lemon and Honey Dressing Recipe
Halloumi is a firm favourite in our house and I really wanted to try something different with it so I decided to go down the middle eastern route. It worked so well. The entire salad was delicious with lots of hidden tasty treats like the preserved lemons, cranberries and sun dried tomatoes. I will definitely…
Chickpea Flatbreads with Halloumi, Rocket and Avocado Smash Recipe
If you follow my blog you will know that I’m trying to stay away from bleached products like white flour and sugar. I was in a health food shop and saw chickpea flour. I have seen it in recipes before but have never tried it myself. The flatbreads turned out great and the chickpea has…
Halloumi on Roasted Leek Couscous with a Harissa Dressing Recipe
I love experimenting with new flavours and ingredients from around the world. We had some leeks left over in the fridge so I thought they would be nice roasted and added to a salad. We didn’t have any salad leaves so I raided the cupboard and found cous cous, dried cranberries and flaked almond’s so…
Roasted Chilli and Fennel Squash Salad with Halloumi and a Lemon and Tarragon Dressing Recipe
I really enjoy winter salads. I think roasting some of the elements make it more comforting and homely. I love adding lots of herbs and spices to make it more warming for these cold days. This salad was so yummy and extremely balanced the lemon dressing lifts and marries all the ingredients together. This would…
Halloumi Salad with Walnut Pesto Soya Beans and Tomatoes Recipe
Even though pesto salad is usually associated with summer I think it can be comforting in the winter too as it has big bold flavour’s. I prefer using walnuts as sometimes pine nuts give a metallic taste in your mouth and you have to toast them first, walnuts can be just chucked in the food…
Mediterranean Halloumi and Couscous Stuffed Roasted Peppers Recipe
So for meatless Monday this week we have stuffed peppers. I have been wanting to try these for a while but I was a little worried that the peppers might repeat on me but they didn’t. I really enjoyed this dish and would definitely make it again. The pepper is sweet and soft without being…
Roasted Maple Glazed Acorn Squash and Carrot Salad with Halloumi and Mustard Dressing Recipe
This salad is so Autumnal. It is comforting, sweet, savoury and fulfilling with a lovely tangy dressing. I served ours for lunch warm and would also serve it for dinner, it would also be just as nice served cold or in your lunch box. I love all the different types of squashes that are available…
