Ingredients

Potatoes & beans

  • 800 g baby potatoes
  • 2 cups frozen green beans

Haloumi

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g haloumi
  • 1 tsp Moroccan seasoning
  • 1 tsp honey

Bacon

  • 200 g bacon

Dressing

  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

Salad

  • 1 baby cos lettuce
  • 1 avocado

Instructions

Before you start

  • Bring a steamer pot of hot tap water to a boil.

Cook potatoes & beans

  • Halve larger 800 g baby potatoes so they're the same size as the smaller ones. Cook in the steamer pot of boiling water for 15 minutes, until tender. When potatoes have 3 minutes cook time remaining, add 2 cups frozen green beans.

Cook haloumi

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frypan on medium-high heat. Dice 200 g haloumi into 1cm cubes and add to the pan then sprinkle over 1 tsp Moroccan seasoning and toss to coat. Cook the haloumi for 2-3 minutes, or until golden. Add 1 tsp honey and toss to coat for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Reserve the pan on heat.

Cook bacon

  • Roughly chop 200 g bacon. Add to the reserved pan on high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Make dressing

  • Finely grate ¼ cup parmesan cheese into a large bowl. Add 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp olive oil, and ¼ cup mayonnaise and whisk to combine. Add a splash of water until slightly runny. (You could also blend this for a really smooth dressing).

Make salad

  • Roughly chop 1 baby cos lettuce. Peel and dice 1 avocado into 1cm cubes. Add the lettuce, avocado, potatoes, beans, bacon and haloumi to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat and season with salt and pepper.

To serve

  • Divide the potato, bean & bacon salad with haloumi cheese and Caesar dressing between plates.
