This vibrant Greek salad combines salty griddled halloumi with sweet beetroot wedges and juicy orange segments. A simple dressing of orange juice and white wine vinegar brings the flavours together.

Ingredients

250g pack cooked beetroot cut into wedges
3 medium oranges segments and juice
4 tsp white wine vinegar
2 x 250g packs halloumi cheese drained
100g watercress

Method

Place a large griddle or frying pan on the heat. Take a large bowl and mix the beetroot wedges with the orange segments, their juice and the white wine vinegar. Season this mixture and combine it gently.
Slice each halloumi block into 4 pieces and season both sides with black pepper. Cook the halloumi for 1-2 mins per side until it is golden, crisp and starting to melt. Toss the watercress into the beetroot and orange salad. Share the salad onto plates and finish each serving with the hot slices of cheese.
