A gourmet dish for the vegetarian palate, which combines 3 of the most compatible Mediterranean ingredients: figs, cheese and nuts!

 

Ingredients:

300g haloumi cheese, sliced

8 fresh figs

50g pecans, chopped into large pieces

For the Dressing:

4 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

freshly ground pepper

For Serving:

2 bunches arugula, chopped into large pieces

 

Directions:

In a well-heated pan brown the haloumi slices on both sides. Cover and set aside to stay warm. Cut the figs in half lengthwise, drizzle with olive oil and lightly sauté them in the hot pan.

For the Dressing:

In a cup, or better yet, in a container with a spill proof lid, add all the ingredients for the dressing and shake well.
