Method

  1. Mix together the nectarines, spring onions, celery, fennel, cucumber and herbs. Whisk the dressing ingredients together, season with black pepper and stir in half the pistachios, if using.
  2. Heat a nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the halloumi for 5 mins, turning often, until golden all over. Drizzle a little oil into the pan if the halloumi starts to stick. Pour over half the dressing, letting it bubble and thicken for 1-2 mins, making sure it coats the cheese.
  3. Spoon the sticky, hot halloumi over the salad with the remaining dressing and toss to coat. Serve, scattered with the remaining pistachios, if using.
