Habanero and cloves instantly warm you from the inside out, while juicy crisp apples and sweet plump raisins dance in your mouth.

How to make it
- Matchstick peeled and cored apples. Place in a bowl of cold water with 2 tbsp lemon juice and set aside.
- Meanwhile bring a small pot of water to a low boil. Add raisins and remove from heat. Allow raisins to steep and plump for at least 10 minutes.
- While raisins are steeping, combine all dressing ingredients and season to taste. Adjust consistency to preference with lemon juice and allow to chill until serving.
- Heat 1 tbsp butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Strain apples and add to melted butter, tossing well to coat. Add raisins, diced habanero, and a teeny pinch of ground cloves and cook 7-9 minutes or until apples are tender crisp and lightly golden. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Preheat grill or indoor grill pan and arrange microgreens on 8 beautiful salad plates.
- Lightly brush sliced halloumi with olive oil on each side and place on hot grill, cooking for 1-2 minutes or until just marked and warm. Flip and repeat.
- Evenly divide halloumi among salad plates beside and on top of microgreens. Divide apple salad into even portions and spoon over each plate.
- Drizzle with yogurt mint dressing. Garnish with fresh mint and serve immediately.
