Method

  • step 1

    Heat the grill to high. Toss the pitta pieces with 1 tbsp oil and spread out onto a baking sheet. Grill for 3-4 mins, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining oil with the lemon juice and garlic, then season. Heat a large griddle pan or non-stick frying pan over a high heat and cook the halloumi for 1-2 mins on each side or until lightly charred.

  • step 3

    Cook the quinoa following pack instructions, leave to cool, then toss with the tomatoes, cucumber, spring onion, most of the fresh herbs and the dressing. Season to taste. Tip onto a serving plate and top with the halloumi, pitta and remaining herbs.

It is indeed excellent but takes twice as much time to make.

question

Can this be eaten at room temperature.

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes it can be eaten at room temperature. The halloumi will change texture as it cools but will still taste good. We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.

This was lovely and went down really well with everyone. Filling enough for dinner without being too heavy on a warm day. Couldn't find quinoa in Sainsbury's so used bulghur wheat instead which worked perfectly. I think giant couscous would also work well.

Made this for dinner, We all really enjoyed it. I just added some lettuce to bulk it out a bit more. Definitely going to be one of our go to meals, going to try it with chicken and feta instead of halloumi next time.

Such a delicious supper/lunch. Great flavours. Had to substitute the quinoa for rice the second time I made it- still really good. The fresh herbs really bring it all to life. It may well be the go to salad of 2021!
