8 slices prosciutto
4 ripe figs, quartered
¼ cup pine nuts, roasted

To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper.
Put the rocket and mint in a bowl, add the vinaigrette and toss to combine.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over high heat. Pan-fry the halloumi for 1 minute on each side or until golden.
