peter gordon's fried halloumi topped with chilli, spinach, water chestnut, hazelnut, orange and sun-blushed tomato salad

Having copped a puncture on the way into work yesterday, I'm late back tonight due to the usual 40 minute wrestle trying to get the inner tube out, and then back into my teeny-tiny wheels. Faced with a looming choice of defrosting some sausages or poaching some Salmon, Ana puts her foot down and chooses Peter Gordon's halloumi salad.

It's at least a fairly quick, if fiddly meal to create.  Given the amount of aromatic ingredients packed into it, like dill and sun-dried tomatoes, it's brilliantly balanced and filling, (if you eat a sandwich whilst you're making it) and quite-to-fairly healthy. I don't know why, but tonight's is probably the best version I've done to date, and I think it might have something to do with ditching the slightly slimey salad, and using a packet of Steve's Leaves instead - they seem to have a bit more flavour and texture than the blanched stuffed. Top Tip there...
