Preparation:
1. Take a chopping board & slice the Halloumi cheese in about 8 slices, including the end.
2. Make the dressing. Take a jam pot & place all of the ingredients for the dressing in it. Put the lid well on. Shake the jam pot up & down until all is well combined. Taste. It has to taste fab!
3. When you are ready to have lunch, take a large non stick pan & heat up on medium heat. In the meantime, dip each Halloumi slice into the seasoned flour on both sides & shake off the excess. When the pan is hot, add the Halloumi slices & fry until golden on both sides. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
4. Take your plates & place little gem lettuce leaves all over the plate nicely. Add the golden Halloumi slices in a round & drizzzle the dressing over the top & place a bit into the middle.
Serve with torn pices or slices of Turkish bread. Enjoy!
