Ingredients
- 1 x 30g pack flat-leaf parsley
- 1 x 30g pack mint
- 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 x 250g pouch cooked Puy lentils
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ½ x 225g pack light halloumi, sliced
For the dressing
- ½ lemon
- 75g fat-free Greek-style natural yogurt
- 2 tsp tahini
- 1 small garlic clove, crushed
Step by step
- Reserve a few herb sprigs then pick the leaves from the remaining sprigs and finely chop. Put into a large bowl with the cherry tomatoes, spring onions and lentils, and mix together well.
- Cut the lemon half into two, then slice one of these pieces into two wedges to serve. Squeeze the juice from the second piece into a small bowl; whisk with the yogurt, tahini, garlic and seasoning to taste. Stir 3 tablespoons of this dressing through the lentil mixture to coat, and check the seasoning. Spoon into two bowls ready to serve. Stir ½ tablespoon of water into the remaining dressing to loosen.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Fry the halloumi for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Top the lentils with the halloumi, scatter with the herb sprigs and serve with the lemon wedges and remaining dressing.
