Halloumi smash and grab – final flourish!

Measure your frying pan – the one I used was 20cms/8” in diameter.

Turn on your oven to warm your bread – 160fan/180c/Gas 4. The bread takes 2 minutes to warm in the oven – you can dry fry for 30 seconds each side if you prefer – I think it's less faff to use the oven, no need to multitask if you don't need too. You might want to set your timer.

Heat your frying pan on a medium heat and then add a drop of rapeseed oil – don't walk away! Add a piece of the coated Halloumi to test – when it sizzles add the remainder and fry until it is golden and just crispy on all sides – like this :

looking good

It just occurs to me that you could warm and split pitta breads and stuff them with the avocado, Halloumi and dressing as a filling and add any other salad bits and pieces of your choice – a little more substantial me thinks!
