The Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Halloumi Salad is a deliciously quick, vibrant dish that balances salty halloumi, sweet peaches, crisp frisée, and spicy rose harissa. I made this for a summer lunch and it felt like sunshine on a plate. The textures and flavors are just perfect. (inspired by Jamie Oliver)
Ingredients Needed
- 2 ripe peaches
- 225g halloumi cheese
- 1 head of frisée
- 10g dill (about half a bunch)
- 1 tablespoon rose harissa
How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Halloumi Salad
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the peaches and halloumi into roughly 2cm chunks for even cooking.
- Cook the Halloumi and Peaches: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Fry the peach and halloumi chunks for 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden.
- Prep the Greens: Pick the pale leaves from the frisée, discarding the darker ones. Pluck the dill leaves and keep whole.
- Add Harissa and Mix: Stir 1 tablespoon of rose harissa and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar into the pan with the peaches and halloumi. Remove from heat and gently toss in the frisée and dill.
- Serve: Season to taste. For extra balance, drizzle with honey if your peaches are on the tart side. Serve immediately.

Why I Love This Recipe
It’s a total flavor bomb. The salty halloumi and sweet peaches work magic together, and the harissa gives it a little kick. It’s super quick, and every bite is bright, juicy, and satisfying.
Recipe Tips
- Use ripe peaches for best sweetness.
- Cut halloumi evenly for consistent browning.
- Cook on high heat to get that caramelized edge.
- Use light frisée leaves to keep the salad delicate.
- Balance spice with honey if needed.
How To Store This Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Halloumi Salad
- In the Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Keep the halloumi separate if possible.
- Reheating: Reheat the halloumi gently in a dry pan. Avoid microwaving to keep it from going rubbery.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Can I use another cheese instead of halloumi? Yes, paneer or grilled feta can work too.
- What if I don’t have frisée? Try rocket, baby spinach, or watercress.
- Can I make this salad vegan? Use a plant-based halloumi alternative and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Is it good for meal prep? Best fresh, but you can prep the components and combine just before eating.
