    I made this for my starter at a dinner party last week. My goodness, it was good ! I was cautious with the harissa first time I made it and added only 1 spoonful, not 2. Everyone commented on what a wonderful starter it made. The next night, still having ingredients left over, I made it again for supper, adding tomatoes to the salad and slightly more harissa to the dressing. Truly wonderful. This will become a regular feature on our menus from now on.

    made this twice, the first time I attempted to make the Harissa oil, but it didn't seem to have much flavour. I've just made it again for lunch, but substituted the dressing for a balsamic vinegar/honey and thyme dressing and it really hits the mark!

    Lovely recipe. So popular I made it twice in three days. Wonderful for a BBQ for veggies. Served on home grown rocket. I loved in Cyprus and love mediterranean food, this is now one of my fave all star dishes.

    So easy to make! Made for a Xmas Day starter for hubby & I last year! It looked just like the photo except there was 2 fig halves and 2 pieces of halloumi on each plate! (We love halloumi!) I didn't use harissa or coriander for the seasoning though, but still yum.

    I did this for a recent dinner party and it proved very popular, although I only used 2 tsp harissa as I thought 2 tbsp would be waaaaaaaaay to much!

    Great recipe, but found the dressing a bit sour, so added a spoonful of honey and it was AMAZING!

    My girlfriend made this for our tea last night and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll definitely make it as a starter for a dinner party as it was so easy. We didn't use two tbsps of harissa either, only put one in and that was plenty. All in all - delicious!
