Halloumi and Pear Salad

Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 1 bunch oak leaf lettuce (or any other green you prefer)
• 2 bunches arugula
• 8 -10 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 -2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• salt (optional)
• black pepper (freshly ground) (optional)
• 1 -2 ripe pear
• 1 -2 teaspoon butter
• 250 g halloumi cheese

Directions

• 1 Shred rinsed lettuce and arugula and arrange on a plate (this salad looks prettier on a flat surface, so for presentation, use a plate rather than a bowl).
• 2 Halve cherry tomatoes, arrange on top of salad.
• 3 Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar, drizzle on top of the salad. Season with salt and pepper, if you prefer.
• 4 Peel pear(s) and cut into small cubes. Heat butter in a pan and cook pear cubes until warm and soft. Let cool a little and pour on top of the salad.
• 5 Slice halloumi cheese (soak in cold water first for 5-20 minutes if you want to reduce the saltiness). Heat butter in a pan and fry the slices until browned on both sides; arrange on top of the salad.
• 6 Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm.
