Warm halloumi cheese and strawberry salad

For this recipe few of my friends asked me already a couple of times as i made it before and i posted photo on my social media before i even had this blog. So today simple, easy and quick recipe for that. It's absolutely yummy and not difficult to make so I hope you guys are going to try it at home;)




Preparation:15min
Portion for 1


Ingredients:


  • 3 slices of halloumi cheese (not too thick),
  • 1 slice of lettuce around 1cm thick,
  • 4 medium size strawberries ( I can recommend the on from Lidl right now, delicious and cheap!only 89p),
  • 2 tbs of seeds, pumpkin and sunflower,
  • one slice of rye bread (any brown bread will do) cut into small chunks,
  • olive oil, 
  • balsamic glaze,
  • pizza mix seasoning of mix of oregano and basil (dry ones)



Preparation:

  1. First I toasted my seeds on dry frying pan until golden brown, but be careful and move the pan constantly otherwise seeds will burn quickly.
  2. When seeds are done sprinkle a bit of olive oil on the same pan and toast your bread chunks.  At this point add pizza seasoning. Also move your pan around to avoid burning.
  3. Next cut lettuce into small pieces, i like to sprinkle a little bit of olive oil and just a tiny little bit of salt and toss it together. I think the worst thing you can do to yourself is to eat dry salad leaves lol. 
  4. Cut strawberries into slices and put nicely on top of your prepared salad.
  5. Fry with a sprinkle of olive oil your halloumi cheese on medium heat, you don't want to burn it but melt it nicely.When golden brown turn to other side.
  6. When your cheese is nicely fried put it on top of  strawberries and at then put evenly your toasted seeds and bread chunks.
  7. At the very end do few lines with balsamic glaze on top of everything. Be careful not to put too much as it will overpower the taste of salad.

ENJOY!
