Ingredients
  

  • 1 small cauliflower
  • 2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil plus extra for frying
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 block of halloumi cut into slices
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges
  • 2 handfuls salad leaves butter leaf/Bibb lettuce
  • 2 large tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cauliflower into florets and par-boil in boiling water for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the cumin and plain flour into a bowl and mix. Add the oil. Once the cauliflower has boiled, drain and tip onto the bowl. Give it all a good shake so the flour and cumin coats well.
  • Cut the halloumi into slices and dry-fry in a hot frying pan until brown on both sides.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the cauliflower for 5 minutes until it starts to brown and crisp slightly.
  • Get your salad leaves ready in the bowl. Quarter your tomatoes. Serve the halloumi and cauliflower in the salad once cooked. Dress with a wedge of lemon.

Notes

Re-heating - Yes you can reheat roasted cauliflower however it may go a bit mushy if done in the microwave. I’d recommend frying it to reheat or popping it in the oven for 5 minutes.
Freezing - Yes you can however it will taste better fresh. The cauliflower may go mushy once defrosted. I’d highly recommend against it and making it fresh instead.
Storage - You can keep cauliflower salad in the fridge for up to 3 days, maybe 4 days at a push. Make sure you cover it with a cling film or beeswax wrap to keep it fresh. A sealed container is recommended. The cooked halloumi may only last a couple of days. Store the same way as the cauliflower.
