Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Slice the halloumi, about 1cm thick.
* Step 2
Place in a bowl with 4 tbsp olive oil, the lemon juice and zest, and thyme leaves. Leave to marinate for 20-30 mins.
* Step 3
Meanwhile, scrub the potatoes clean of any soil. No need to peel. Wash the salad leaves and spin dry.
* Step 4
Pod your broad beans if still in their jackets. Pierce the seam with your fingernail, then run your nail down the seam to open. Pick out the beans into a bowl.
* Step 5
Halve the new potatoes, quartering any larger ones so they're all about the same size.
* Step 6
Drain the vegetables and place in a large bowl.
* Step 7
Finely chop the spring onions and gherkin, and add to the bowl.
* Step 8
Now cook the halloumi. Don't throw away the oil marinade!
* Step 9
Flip them over and cook for another minute or so, until golden. Be careful as they can burn easily. Set aside off the heat.
* Step 10
Turn the halloumi marinade into a dressing by adding the mustard, season with salt and pepper. Taste it and add a dash of vinegar if it needs more acidity.
* Step 11
Add the salad leaves to the bowl, along with the dressing. Use clean hands to gently toss everything together so the leaves are well coated in the dressing.
* Step 12
Pile onto plates, arrange the halloumi on top and serve!
