Nutritional values

Halloumi cheese is a good source of calcium: the mineral is needed to build bones and teeth.

If you get some, you should use couscous in the whole-grain variety (available from spelt, for example). This contains even more satiating fiber as well as minerals and vitamins.

Preparation steps

1.

Place the couscous in a bowl. Bring broth to a boil, pour over couscous, cover and let swell for about 10 minutes.

2.

In the meantime, clean, wash, halve and pit apricots, nectarines, and plums and cut into wedges. Wash herbs, shake dry, and pluck off leaves; set aside a few mint leaves, and finely chop the rest with the parsley. Peel and finely dice onion. Coarsely chop almonds. Cut halloumi cheese into cubes about 1-inch. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Fry cheese on all sides for 5 minutes over medium heat until crispy.

3.

Meanwhile, whisk lemon and orange juice with salt, pepper and remaining oil. Loosen the couscous with a fork and mix with the dressing, half of the diced onion and half of the herbs. Arrange on plates or on a large platter, arrange the fruits and halloumi on top. Sprinkle everything with remaining diced onion, herbs and almonds. Garnish couscous salad with mint leaves set aside.
