Fatoush Salad with Grilled Halloumi

This lunch hails from the eastern Mediterranean. Fatoush is made with the Lebanese/Syrian equivalent of croutons- small pieces of toasted pitta bread, which soak up the juices of this hyper-fresh salad and provide its body. Squeaky grilled halloumi is the perfect accompaniment.

  2. 2

    Tip all of the prepared vegetables into a bowl and gently mix with the chopped herbs.
