Steps
-
Cook couscous Preheat BBQ hot plate (if using). Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, cook couscous for about 8 minutes, until just tender. Add peas for final minute of cook time until bright green and tender. Drain well and return to pot with a small drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
-
Prep salad and haloumi Halve cherry tomatoes and roughly chop spinach. Pat haloumi dry and cut into 1cm thick chips. Toss in a bowl with orange crust.
-
Cook haloumi Heat a small drizzle of oil in a non-stick fry-pan on medium-high heat and cook haloumi, in batches for about 1 minute each side, until crisp and golden. Set aside on paper towels. Alternatively, cook haloumi on BBQ.
-
Finish salad Once couscous has cooked, toss all salad ingredients together in a bowl and season to taste.
-
Serve salad topped with haloumi and garnish with remaining gremolata and basil.
