This is a beautifully balanced winter salad, with toasty, nutty flavours and plenty of sweetness and saltiness going on. I like to use watercress or rocket, but the door is open to try any type of leaf. The best thing about this salad is that is can be tweaked and still be delicious. The hazelnut oils adds a lot of flavour, but it can be switched to an alternative or just a good quality extra virgin if you are having trouble sourcing. The plums can be switched for pears or nectarines, or some raw apple works wonderfully well also.

This eye-catching salad for two is quick, easy, vibrant and zesty. The bright citrus notes play wonderfully with the salty, rich haloumi. The dressing lifts it with a bit of sweetness provided by the honey. I love to serve it up on one big plate as a main or as a side to accompany other dishes.
