Pickled cucumber, fig, and halloumi salad is a special Greek-inspired recipe.

Provided by OneWholesomeMeal

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium cucumber
1 ½ tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon red chile flakes
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup blanched hazelnuts
8 ounces halloumi cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 medium (blank)s fresh figs, chopped

Steps:

  • Cut cucumber into chunky half-moons, then scrape out the core. Place cucumber in a medium bowl with vinegar, honey, chile flakes, and salt; set aside to pickle for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the cucumbers are pickling, toast hazelnuts in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and chop coarsely when cool enough to handle.
  • Slice halloumi cheese into 3/8-inch slices and place in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Mix chopped hazelnuts and mint into the pickled cucumbers. Add halloumi and figs and toss to coat.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this salad. The pickled cucumbers are tangy and crunchy, the figs are sweet and juicy, and the halloumi is salty and creamy. It's all brought together by the delicious dressing.

I would make this salad again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less vinegar in the dressing, and I would grill the halloumi before adding it to the salad.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The halloumi was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been grilled or pan-fried before adding it to the salad.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the pickled cucumbers had been rinsed before adding them to the salad.

I was a bit hesitant to try this salad because I'm not a big fan of figs, but I'm so glad I did! The figs were actually really delicious in this salad and they paired perfectly with the cucumbers and halloumi.
