Method

  1. Cut the peel and pith away from the oranges. Use a small serrated knife to segment the orange, catching any juices in a bowl, then squeeze any excess juice from the off-cut pith into the bowl as well. Add the mustard, honey, vinegar, oil and some seasoning to the bowl and mix well.

  2. Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot ribbons into the dressing bowl and toss gently. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and cook the halloumi for a few mins until golden on both sides. Toss the watercress through the dressed carrots. Arrange the watercress mixture on plates and top with the halloumi and oranges.

The "per serving" for nutrition is a bit vague. Does anybody know the portion size for any recipes on BBC Good food as too much or too little will obviously alter the calorie amount

The recipe says ‘Serves 4’ at the top of the page, under the title, so I presume a serving would be a quarter of the total amount of the recipe. Hope that helps.

This was our Christmas starter this year and could've done with being a main meal in its own right! I mistakenly bought Seville oranges which I couldn't use as they were so pippy so used Clementines instead but would love to try with proper oranges next time.
