Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 medium cucumber

  • 1 ½ tablespoons white wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • ½ teaspoon red chile flakes

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup blanched hazelnuts

  • 8 ounces halloumi cheese

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

  • 3 fresh figs, chopped

Directions

  1. Cut cucumber into chunky half-moons, then scrape out the core. Place cucumber in a medium bowl with vinegar, honey, chile flakes, and salt; set aside to pickle for 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. While the cucumbers are pickling, toast hazelnuts in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and chop coarsely when cool enough to handle.

  3. Slice halloumi cheese into 3/8-inch slices and place in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  4. Mix chopped hazelnuts and mint into the pickled cucumbers. Add halloumi and figs and toss to coat.
