  • medium cranberry-orange relish 
  • tsp citrus champagne vinegar 
  • 500 halloumi cheese drained
  • 100 watercress 

Equipment

  1. Heat a large griddle pan or frying pan over a high heat. In a large bowl, combine the beetroot, orange segments and juice and white wine vinegar. Season, then gently mix together.
