"Fried Haloumi cheese is one of my favorites, and we usually eat it drizzled with lemon dressing over the top. This takes it a step further, and incorporates a salad and bread element. Delicious! Adapted from The Essential Mediterranean Cookbook."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Heat the grill to high.
Step 2
Cut the tomatoes and cucumber into bite-sized chunks and place in a serving dish with the arugula and olives. Mix well.
Step 3
Slice the bred into eight 3/4 inch slices, drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Grill until lightly golden, then rub each slice thoroughly with a cut side of the garlic. Wrap loosely in foil and keep warm in the oven.
Step 5
Cut the Haloumi into 8 slices. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a shallow frying pan and fry the haloumi slices for 1-2 minutes per side, until crisp and golden brown.
Note: I've found it better to dip the haloumi slices LIGHTLY in flour before frying.
Step 6
Whisk together the lemon juice, oregano, and remaining olive oil to use as a dressing. Season to taste.
Step 7
Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss well. Arrange the ahloumi on top and drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately with the warm garlic bread.
