Ready in: 20 mins
Serves: 4 – 6

Ingredients

• 3 little gem lettuces, leaves roughly torn
• 1 cucumber, halved, seeds scooped out and sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced or chopped into chunks
• 200g frozen peas, defrosted
• ½ tbsp sesame seeds, other seeds or pine nuts

Method

1. Arrange the little gem, cucumber, avocado and peas in a large serving bowl.
2. Whizz the dressing ingredients in a blender with some salt and pepper until smooth.
3. Gently toast the sesame seeds (or other seeds or pine nuts) in a dry frying pan for a few secs until turning golden. Remove the seeds from the pan and set aside. Fry the halloumi slices in the dry frying pan until golden on both sides, then slice into strips. Drizzle some dressing over the salad then top with the halloumi and toasted seeds and serve extra dressing on the side.
