The sign of a really good haloumi cheese is the ‘squeak’ as you bite it. So chew slowly and enjoy the dinner music!

Red onion

1 small, thinly sliced

Lemon juice

1 tbs

Olive oil

1 tbs

Ground sumac

2 tsp

Tomato(es)

2 large, vine-ripened

Lebanese cucumber

2 medium, chopped

Pita bread

2 individual, toasted, torn

Haloumi cheese

180 g, thickly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced. Place pita bread on a baking tray and bake for 5 minutes or until crisp. Cool (see tip).
  2. Combine onion, juice, oil and sumac in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes. Add tomato, cucumber and toasted pita and toss fattoush to combine.
