Step 1

Peel lengths off the cucumber until you end up with a pile of cucumber ribbons, then add them to a bowl with the white wine vinegar and a pinch of sugar Give everything a good mix up then set aside for later - these are your quick pickled cucumber ribbons

Step 2

Place your hand flat onto the halloumi Slice in half as if you were cutting a burger bun, so you are left with halloumi steaks Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Step 3

Once the pan is hot, add the halloumi steaks and cook for 2-3 min on each side until golden and crisp

Step 4

Slice the brioche buns in half Heat a separate, large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat and add the brioche halves, cut-side down, and cook for 2-3 min or until toasted and charred

Step 5

Meanwhile, chop the cherry tomatoes in half Wash the baby leaf salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Step 6

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to a bowl with the baby leaf salad - this is your salad Drain the pickled cucumber ribbons (set these aside for later!) and add the pickling liquid to the salad Add a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper and give this a good mix up - this is your dressed salad

Step 7

Assemble your burgers by filling each toasted brioche bun with a golden halloumi steak, a dollop of chilli jam and some quick-pickled cucumber ribbons Serve the dressed salad to the side Enjoy!
