Grilled haloumi salad recipe with nectarine & kohlrabi

Ingredients

250 grams 250g (8 ounces) haloumi

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 witlof (belgian endive) (250g), trimmed

1 medium white kohlrabi (500g), peeled, trimmed, cut into matchsticks

2 teaspoons honey

4 medium ripe white nectarines OR PEACHES (600g), halved, stones removed, sliced

2 tablespoons almond dukkah

Honey & lemon dressing

1/2 cup (125ml) extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons honey

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves

1 small clove garlic, crushed

Method

1.Drain haloumi; pat dry with paper towel. Cut lengthways into eight slices. Toss in oil; season with freshly ground black pepper.

2.Make honey and lemon dressing by adding ingredients to a jar and shaking well to combine. Season to taste.

3.Separate outer witlof leaves; halve small centres. Place witlof in a large bowl with kohlrabi and half the dressing; toss gently to combine.

4.Cook haloumi, in batches, on a heated grill plate (or barbeuce or frying pan) over high heat for 1 minute each side or until golden. Drizzle with honey; cook for a further 15 seconds or until beginning to colour. Remove from heat; thinly slice half the haloumi.

5.Layer haloumi, witlof mixture and nectarine slices on a large platter. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with dukkah.

If nectarines or peaches are out of season, use nashi, pears or champagne melon. If you are using slightly under-ripe nectarines, peaches or pears, brush them with a little oil and honey then grill for 1 minute to help soften the flesh and release their flavour.
