Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Pickle Red Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and place it in a small bowl. Pour in red wine vinegar and sprinkle with kosher salt, mixing well. Let them pickle for at least 15 minutes.
- Make Honey-Harissa Glaze: In a small bowl, combine harissa, honey, and fresh lemon juice, stirring until well mixed. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Prepare Halloumi: Slice the halloumi cheese into thick pieces, about half an inch. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Cook Halloumi: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle in olive oil, add halloumi slices, and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Flip, add honey-harissa glaze, and cook an additional minute.
- Prepare Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine pickled onions, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, dill, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until well mixed.
- Assemble Pitas: Toast pita breads until warm. Spread tzatziki inside, fill with halloumi and salad mixture, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes
Ensure halloumi is well-dried before cooking for a crispy exterior. Enjoy immediately after assembly for best taste.
