Step 5

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a clean skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

Step 6

Pan-fry halloumi slices 1.5–2 minutes per side until edges are golden and cheese softens slightly.

Step 7

Whisk lemon juice, sumac, remaining 2 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 8

Toss lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and onion together in a large bowl.

Step 9

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently until coated. Top with pita chips and halloumi.
