• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• Handful mint leaves
• A few sprigs dill, chopped

1. Place your sliced onion into a bowl and fully coat with the vinegar.

3. Add a small amount of oil to a non-stick frying pan and add the halloumi, cooking on each side until golden brown.
4. Stir the pomegranate into the onions and spoon the dressing over the rocket, beetroot and orange. Add the halloumi and scatter some pumpkin seeds, mint and dill over the top.
