The unexpected combination of creamy avocado, salty halloumi, sweet mango and fresh cucumber is an absolute delight.
Ingredients
For the halloumi marinade:
- 1 clove garlic, microplaned
- Small handful parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice and zest of 1/2 a lemon
- I block helium cheese, sliced into 6 slices
For the rest of the salad:
- 1 clove garlic, microplaned
- Small handful parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice and zest of 1/2 a lemon
- I block helium cheese, sliced into 6 slices
- 1 avocado, peeled and cubed
- 1 mango, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 a large cucumber, diced
- Good squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Method
- STEP 1Place all of the marinade ingredients into a shallow dish, and place the slices of halloumi in the dish- mix to coat well, and cover. Allow to marinade in a cool place or in the fridge, for as long as you can muster. Ten minutes will suffice under time-stretched circumstances.
- STEP 2Pop the chopped cucumber, mango and avo into a bowl.
- STEP 3Remove the cheese slices from the marinade and barbecue, fry or grill your slices; remembering to baste them as they cook with the leftover marinade, and ensure there is a charred crust to the cheese. Each side of the cheese will take approximately 2 minutes to grill properly.
- STEP 4Remove, and when the cheese is cool enough to handle, chop into cubes.
- STEP 5Add these immediately to the rest of the chopped ingredients, squeeze a little lemon juice over the salad, give one final mix, and there you go.
