Roasted & Marinated Leeks with Dried Apricots & Manouri Cheese

I love every single ingredient in this salad so much that making it is always a treat. Manouri cheese is a white semi-soft Greek cheese that’s a cross between feta cheese and cream cheese; it’s not as salty or crumbly as feta. It can be found in big supermarkets, Greek delicatessens or online. The silky leeks taste exquisite with the urfa chilli marinade, which, despite its name, generates a very mild heat with a touch of cacao flavour. Apricots, being sweet and sour, are a fruit I can’t re
