My friend Rachel is a nutritionist and has just started sharing deliciously balanced and healthy recipes, packed full of yummy flavours and this one is no exception. Her original recipe uses feta cheese but my version used halloumi as I had some to use up. All credit to Rachel for this burst of colour on the plate.
