  • In a small bowl, combine mayo and half the pesto. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To a large bowl, add half the vinegar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add tomatoes and spinach. Do not mix until step 6.
Cook halloumi
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • While pan heats, Cut halloumi into 1/4-inch slices. Using a strainer, rinse halloumi in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with half the Italian Herb Spice Blend and pepper.
  • When hot, add halloumi to the dry pan. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan. For 4 servings, cook in batches) Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. 
  • Add remaining pesto. Toss to coat halloumi.

Toast buns

If you've opted to get halloumi, cut halloumi into 1/4-inch slices. Using a strainer, rinse halloumi in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season halloumi the same way the recipe instructs you to season chicken. When the pan is hot, add halloumi to the dry pan. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan. For 4 servings, cook in batches) Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. Add remaining pesto. Toss to coat halloumi.  Transfer halloumi to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Carefully wipe pan clean. No need to roast the halloumi after pan-frying.
