Discard any damaged outer leaves from the lettuce hearts, separate the small inner leaves, leaving them whole, and cut off and include any pale green sections from the larger leaves outside; tear into manageable pieces.

Place these in a bowl and toss with the nut oil, lemon juice and a little seasoning, then mix in the almonds. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Slice the halloumi across thinly into about 12 slices.

Dip half the halloumi slices into the flour and fry for 30-60 seconds each side until golden, then repeat with the remainder. Serve immediately with the salad and pitta bread.
