A delightful salad featuring crispy fried halloumi paired with a tangy and flavorful dressing.
Pat the halloumi block dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Drying the halloumi ensures a better crust when frying.
Slice the halloumi into even pieces, aiming for about 8 slices.
Use a sharp knife to prevent the halloumi from crumbling.
Coat each slice of halloumi in the seasoned flour, ensuring all sides are covered.
Shake off excess flour to avoid clumping during frying.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the halloumi to achieve a crispy texture.
Fry the halloumi slices for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown.
Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
Whisk together lime juice, zest, white wine vinegar, capers, minced garlic, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning to your preference.
Serve the fried halloumi slices drizzled with the dressing.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and color.
