How to make Loaded halloumi flatbreads
Prepare the crunchy salad: Mix all the salad ingredients together in a bowl.

Combine the dressing: Transfer the yoghurt to a clean bowl and stir in the chilli, ginger, and seed mixture. Season to taste.
Dress the salad: Gently toss the salad in the dressing until well combined.
Cook the halloumi: Dry-fry the halloumi in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and softened inside. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
Warm the flatbreads: Heat the flatbreads on a griddle pan or in a low oven. Spread each flatbread with hummus.
