This is a re-creation of the Salade Frivole I had in Paris last week at “Le Paradis du Fruits“, outside, in the sun, overlooking The Seine and Notre Dame. Great salad, great memories!
Serves 3-4 * Lunch
Ingredients:
Halloumi cheese
1 cucumber
2 big or 4 small tomatoes
1 red onion
Kalamata olives
low fat Greek yoghurt
virgin olive oil
lemon juice
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
little bit of flour
piece of kitchen towel
individual salad bowls/plates
Preparation:
Cut the Halloumi cheese in cubes. Cover the cubes in a bit of flour. Heat up a frying pan and put in some olive oil. Heat up the olive oil, and add the cubes of Halloumi cheese. Fry them until golden brown. Take the cubes out of the pan and let them drain on piece of kitchen towel.
Cut the red onion in slices. Cut the cucumber and tomato in cubes. Put everything in a bowl and add olive oil & lemon juice, as a dressing. Add sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Add the Kalamata olives (I rinse them, as I find them too salty, before putting them in). Mix it all together.
In each salad bowl/plate, put a dollop of Greek yoghurt and spread out over the bottom of the bowl/plate. Put some salad on top of the yoghurt. Then add several cubes of Halloumi on top. Put some more freshly ground pepper on top.
For extra taste you could add fresh herbes like chives, or parsley.
Serve with fresh bread. Bon appétit!
