Charred Florida Grapefruit and Halloumi Salad

Halloumi is a salty cheese that when fried can make an easy addition of protein to any meal. Char Florida Grapefruit segments for a balance of salty and sweet in this jam-packed delicious salad.

Ingredients

• 2 Florida Grapefruit, peeled and segmented
• Handful of greens for salad
• 50g roasted almonds
• 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
• 12 mint leaves, finely sliced
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp sea salt flakes
• 1 block of halloumi, sliced
• ½ tsp sumac
• ½ tsp za’atar
• 1 tsp runny honey

Preparation

1. Start by preparing your grapefruit – peel and then segment to remove any pith and seeds. Then blow torch or place under a grill so that one side of the segments is charred. This brings out the sweetness of the grapefruit and adds a lovely depth of flavour.

2. Cook your halloumi and smoked almonds in hot oil for 4-5 mins with sumac and za’atar until golden.

3. Toss your salad in a large bowl with the warm halloumi, charred Florida Grapefruit segments and pomegranate seeds. Season with salt, add freshly chopped mint and finally drizzle with honey.
