Warm halloumi, chickpea & lime salad

Its got some really good flavours. Lime, chilli. Combine it with some extra peppery rockette and its great. I gave the red onion a miss but sprinkled sumac on the finished salad before I tossed the salad. Sprinkling some genuine Hungarian Paprika on the haloumi as it was frying added a little something. Tasted fabulous in winter!

I made this the other week (Autumn/Winter) when I was for some reason craving something lime-flavoured. I was really impressed with it! The lime-y flavour is really tasty. This is going to sound silly, but this was pretty much the first time that I enjoyed eating a chickpea that looked like a chickpea. While halloumi is obviously delicious, it certainly wasn't the only think I enjoyed about this meal. I didn't have any roasted peppers, so I stuck some frozen peppers in with the chickpeas. I wasn't expecting that to work very well, but it did. Also, I didn't have any fresh chilli, so I put a few chilli flakes into the dressing, which seemed to work fine (the salad was spicy but not too spicy). I also fried the onion first (I'm not a big fan of raw onion), then fried the halloumi in the same pan later. I was worried while I was frying the halloumi that everything else would go cold, but I needn't have worried. I'll definitely be making this again!

This is perfect for a warm sunny day when not much cooking is required. The taste left in your mouth afterwards from the lime dressing is very fresh and nice :)

I made this last night. Lovely and tasty. Definitely do this in the summer I didn't pour hot water on the onions as I like onions and tomatoes together. Sharon

I forgot the chickpeas, added some new potatoes omitted the onion and roasted my own peppers. Absolutely lovely salad- filling, colourful and really tasty.

This was absolutely delicious for a summery dinner, I used griddles asparagus spears rather than the green beans and I thought that blanching the onions made all the difference. I'll be making this again as it was quick, easy, looks impressive and was totally delish

Scrumptious for a sunny lunch! But I did make changes - roasted half a red pepper and red onion with some courgette as I had it in the fridge, and don't really like raw onion (don't think blanching makes a huge difference). Chucked chunks of halluomi in with the roasty beg for the last 15 mins and they go nice and golden without having to fry. Tossed together with everything else in the lovely dressing...YUM.

Mmmnyeh. This was good for a healthy change but wouldn't make again. The chickpeas and the other ingredients didn't blend well enough. Plus blanching the onion didn't take any of the bite out so now have bad, bad breath!

SO GOOD. Full of flavour and the chickpea and lime salad feels so healthy that you can justify the delicious fried halloumi. Yum.

Loved this. I made it without the chilli as I was sharing with a toddler, and also left out the rocket so I could chuck it all in a big salad tub for a picnic in the park. It worked a treat, will definitely make again.
