Number Of Ingredients 8

450 g cooked lentils (see notes)
3 Tbsp green pesto (see notes)
1 lemon (juiced)
220 g cherry tomatoes (halved)
3-4 Tbsp red onion (finely chopped)
1 small red bell pepper (finely chopped)
225 g halloumi (cubed, see notes)
1 handful fresh herbs (basil, chives, parsley all work well here)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, add the lentils and mix in the pesto and lemon juice until they are distributed into the lentils. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, pepper and onion and toss through.
  • Finally, mix in the herbs, reserving a few pinches for topping the salad.
  • Pan fry your halloumi. Lightly oil a nonstick frying pan and turn the heat on to a medium setting. Once the pan is hot (you can test this by putting one piece of halloumi in and seeing if it sizzles) add the halloumi into the pan. Fry for 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Mix the halloumi into the salad (or just lay it on top, as pictured) and scatter the remaining herbs.
