Method

  1. Prepare your salad base; lettuce, tomatoes, spring onions and spinach. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Aromat in a bowl and mix to create your dressing. Use a little of the dressing to brush over both sides of the halloumi and mushrooms. Combine the rest your dressing ingredients with your salad base.
