00:13sit for 15 minutes or so, they're so flavorful. Slice about four or five pieces of halloumi and
00:18add them to a pan with some olive oil. Cook on each side until they're nice and golden brown and
00:22a little crispy. The base of the salad is orzo and top with your marinated cucumbers and radishes,
00:26some pistachios, some lemon zest, and a few pieces of halloumi. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley and
00:31that's it. Full recipe in the caption. Give it a try and follow for more.
