Halloumi Fries Recipe - Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

There’s something about the combination of sweet and salty flavours that we just can’t get enough of! This recipe builds on those umami flavours by pairing savoury halloumi cheese with a fresh, fruity salad. 

You might think halloumi fries don’t sound that slimming friendly, but we’re baking them in the oven, rather than frying them – this cuts out so many calories! This is a hearty, satisfying salad that’s bursting with flavours. 

You won’t want to skip the sweet chilli-infused dressing! It adds just the right amount of subtle spiciness to cut through the strong, salty taste of that golden, breadcrumb-coated halloumi. Finish with a sprinkle of sweet pomegranate and some fresh mint leaves. Salads don’t get much better than this! 

What diets is this Halloumi Fries Salad suitable for?

Our Halloumi Fries Salad can be enjoyed on a gluten free diet, as long as you substitute the panko breadcrumbs for a gluten free alternative. This recipe is also vegetarian-friendly, as long as you check that the halloumi you are using is vegetarian. 

You can also make this recipe suitable for vegans and dairy free diets by swapping the following ingredients for suitable alternatives:

  • Reduced fat halloumi cheese
  • Fat free natural yoghurt

If you’re cooking for people with allergies, be extra careful when checking ingredients and preparing food!

Do you need any special ingredients to make Halloumi Fries Salad?

Nope! Everything you need should be easy to pick up in your usual supermarket. You’ll need some reduced fat halloumi cheese – this is a semi-hard cheese that can be fried, grilled or baked. It won’t melt away and holds its shape nicely when you cook it, with a delicious creamy, salty flavour. It’s very popular and can be found in most supermarkets!

Recipe notes

Tip: Instead of yoghurt you can use beaten egg or a little coconut non dairy milk alternative to stick the panko breadcrumbs onto the halloumi. Just remember to adjust the calories accordingly.

Tip: You could try adding other sources of protein to this salad instead of halloumi. You could use cooked chicken, feta cheese, cooked ham, or fish such as tuna.
