Tomato, Haloumi and Spinach Salad


INGREDIENTS:

• 6 1/2 oz. of haloumi cheese
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
• 1tbsp chopped fresh marjoram
• 8 Roma tomatoes, halved
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 5 oz. baby spinach leaves

PREPARATION:
Cut the haloumi into 1/2 inch thick slices lengthways and put in a shallow dish. Mix together the oil, garlic and herbs and pour over haloumi. Marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to about 400 degrees. Place the tomato and onion in a single layer in a roasting tin, drizzle with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 tbsp of the vinegar and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden. A faster option is to grill them.

In a seperate skillet drain the haloumi and cook for 1 minute each side or until golden brown. Again you can grill the cheese if the bbq is already going.
Divide the spinach leaves among four plates and top with the tomato and onion. Whisk the remaining olive oil and vinegar and drizzle over salad and top with haloumi. Enjoy!
