    So I was thinking it had been a bit too long since I'd last shared any halloumi recipes.

    Halloumi is in my top five favourite foods and it's a great addition to all kinds of dishes, if you haven't tried it yet then you need to get your hands on some ASAP, trust me, you won't regret it.

    This here salad is so easy to make. We had it for the first time a few weeks ago when we got home from a run. Now that we've started training for a half marathon we're having to go for runs when I get home from work, something which I really don't love.

    Once we get back I want dinner ready basically immediately so that I can sit down and start working on the blog until bedtime. Such a fun life I lead!

    So this harissa halloumi salad was one of those throw together things once we were back from the run. Couscous is always a winner since it's so speedy and doesn't even involve any saucepans and flames (loooove).

    So all the cooking that needs doing is throwing the aubergine in the oven for 20 minutes, a quick fry of the vegetables followed by a fry of the halloumi. Whip up a quick dressing and throw everything together. The perfect post run dinner. Or just the perfect post work dinner. Or post anything dinner.

      I never heard of halloumi before, but I do love harissa, so if I found them here in France I will give it a try.
