Generous pieces of fried haloumi makes this low-fat tuna salad taste sensational.

125g haloumi*, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
400g canned borlotti beans, rinsed, drained
100g grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
2 1/2 cups firmly packed baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn if large
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 x 185g cans tuna with chilli, well-drained

Method

1.

Blot haloumi dry with paper towel. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frypan over high heat. When very hot, fry the haloumi for 1 minute each side or until browned lightly.
2.

Combine the beans, tomatoes, spinach and basil in a bowl. Break the fried haloumi into pieces and add to the bowl. Add the vinegar and remaining oil, then toss to combine. Lightly break up the drained tuna and scatter over the salad.
