Celebrate summer with Annabel’s Pear, Walnut and Haloumi Salad

- Advertisement -

A perfect way to welcome in summer is with Annabel Langbein’s recipe for Pear, Walnut and Haloumi salad. The unique flavours in this salad come from the lemon-soaked sweet pears and the salty haloumi cheese – luxury on a plate!

Ingredients

4 tablespoons of neutral oil (I used Canola)

1 cup walnuts

2 ripe pears (I used Taylors Gold pears)

Juice of ½ lemon

250g haloumi, thinly sliced

6 handfuls of salad leaves (the recipe calls for watercress but I used standard mesculin)

Salt and ground black pepper to serve

Method

Heat three of the four tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry the walnuts for 2 – 3 minutes until lightly browned. Set aside on some kitchen towel. Keep the oil to dress the salad.

Core and cut the pears into 6-8 wedges. Place in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the lemon juice and place into the fridge until you are ready to plate up.

Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the haloumi slices until they are golden brown on both sides. Set aside on some kitchen towel. Now you are ready to plate up!

Place salad leaves in a large mixing bowl and toss with the walnut oil. Add the pears and the juice and put onto plates. Then place the haloumi onto each plate and sprinkle with the walnuts. I put the salt and black pepper on the table for people to serve themselves.

    what if you were to write a killer title? I am not saying your information isn’t solid, however what if you added a headline that grabbed folk’s attention?

    co.nz is kinda vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article titles to grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers interested about everything’ve written.

    Just my opinion, it would make your posts a
    little bit more interesting.
