Fattoush

This is a Tunisian salad. Use your favorite cheese instead of halloumi.

2		thick slices of bread, oven toasted and cubed
1 tbs		lemon juice
2		green peppers, diced
2		large tomatoes, quartered
3		spring onion, chopped
1/2 cup		halloumi cheese, or feta cheese, cubed

1/2 cup		black and green olives, stoned
1 (8 oz)		can of tuna
4 tbs		extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves		garlic, crushed
2 tsp		crushed coriander seed
1 drop		harissa (chili sauce) or 3 drops Tabasco

1	Preheat the oven at 400° F (200° C), drizzle a little olive oil and 1 tsp lemon juice over the bread slices and toast in the oven for 10 minutes.
2	Cube the bread and sprinkle with 2 tsp lemon diluted in 2 tbsp water. Place it in a salad bowl. Add peppers, tomatoes, green onions, cheese, olives, and tuna. Season to taste and let it rest.
3	Heat the olive oil in a pan, add garlic, crushed coriander and harissa. Cook for a couple of minutes. The garlic will start to color. Add the remaining lemon juice, stir, and pour this dressing over the salad.
