Ingredients

  • 6 fresh figs halved
  • 200 g halloumi cheese sliced
  • 3 cups arugula
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup walnuts optional

For the Glaze:

  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss figs with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast for 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a pan. Fry halloumi until golden (1-2 minutes per side).
  • For the glaze, simmer balsamic and honey in a small pan until slightly thickened (3-4 minutes).
  • Arrange arugula on plates, top with figs, halloumi, and walnuts. Drizzle with glaze.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately—halloumi hardens as it cools.
  • Swap honey for maple syrup for a vegan version.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes to the glaze for a spicy kick.
  • Best enjoyed in summer/early fall when figs are in season.
