INGREDIENTS:
For the salad:
- 300g baby carrots, peeled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp runny honey
- ½ tsp paprika
- 120g freekeh
- 250g halloumi, sliced into 1cm pieces

For the dressing:
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice

METHOD:
1 - Preheat the oven to 180C. Toss the carrots with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, 1 tsp honey and paprika and place on a large baking tray. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and starting to caramelize at the edges.
2 - Meanwhile, bring a 1 litre of water to the boil, add the freekeh and cook for 10-12 minutes, until soft but still with a little bite. (check the cooking instructions on the packet as the timings can sometimes differ). Drain the freekeh and set aside to cool.
3 - Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium/hot and fry the sliced halloumi, turning after about 2 minutes, when it starts to brown. Continue to fry on the otherside for a further 2 minutes. Drizzle over the remaining teaspoon of honey and remove from the heat.
