Peach and halloumi salad

For the salad:

  • ripe peaches (nectarines or apricots also work)
  • halloumi
  • garlic, finely chopped
  • mixed salad leaves (pretty much any sort works)
  • green beans (in 1-2 inch pieces; optional)
  • pine nuts (optional)
For the dressing:
  • balsamic or sherry vinegar (1 part)
  • extra virgin olive oil (2-3 parts)
  • pomegranate molasses (0.25-0.5 parts)
  • soy sauce (small splash per part)
  • garlic (small clove per part, crushed)
  • sea salt
  • black pepper

Combine all the dressing ingredients very thoroughly (the best way is to put them all in a jar with a well-sealed lid and shake hard for about 30 seconds).  If using pine nuts, dry-fry over a medium heat for a few minutes until lightly toasted and set aside to cool.  Cut the peaches (or other soft fruit) into chunks.  Fry the halloumi in olive oil over a medium-high heat until lightly browned on both sides, adding the garlic towards the end to avoid burning it.  While the halloumi is still warm, combine everything and eat
