These loaded halloumi flatbreads are a vibrant celebration of flavour and texture, making them an ideal choice for a nutritious vegetarian lunch or a quick midweek dinner. The combination of salty, golden-brown halloumi and a zesty, spiced yoghurt dressing brings a wonderful depth to the dish, while the addition of sweet Medjool dates and crunchy shredded vegetables provides a refreshing contrast. It is a colourful, Mediterranean-inspired meal that feels both indulgent and wholesome.
Perfect for sharing, this recipe is easily adaptable depending on what you have in the fridge; you can swap the red cabbage for white or add a handful of rocket for extra Peppery notes. The fibre-rich chickpeas and protein-packed halloumi ensure this dish is as satisfying as it is delicious. Serve these wraps immediately while the flatbreads are still warm and the cheese remains wonderfully soft and squeaky.

How to make Loaded Halloumi Flatbreads
Back to contentsMake the crunchy salad: mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Make the dressing: heat the oil in a small frying pan (skillet) over a low heat. Add the chilli and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the seeds. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Put the yoghurt in a clean bowl and stir in the chilli, ginger and seed mixture. Season to taste. Gently toss the salad in the dressing.
Dry-fry the halloumi in a non-stick frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside and softened inside. Remove and drain on kitchen paper (paper towels).
Warm the flatbreads on a griddle pan or in a low oven and spread them with the hummus. Top with the halloumi and crunchy salad, and dot with harissa. Serve immediately.
