Spinach Salad With Halloumi Cheese
One of our favourite salads features fresh lemony spinach topped with pan-fried vegetables and the king of all cheese! Yes, you guessed it! It's Halloumi! Ready in 20 minutes, fresh and light, but equally satisfying, our Spicy Asparagus and Halloumi Salad is sure to impress!
Ingredients
- 100 g asparagus tips cut in half crossways
- ½ red pepper sliced
- 225 g halloumi
- 2 teaspoon harissa
- 20 g pumpkin seeds
- 4 dates destoned and sliced
- 70 g baby spinach
For Dressing:
- 1½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ small lemon juice only
- ½ teaspoon honey
Instructions
- In a small dry frying pan, toast the pumpkin seeds, until they start to crackle and brown slightly.
- Heat a drop of oil in a frying pan and fry the asparagus and pepper slices for 5 minutes, stirring often until softened but retain a bit of crunch.
- Cut the halloumi into 8 slices. Slather the pieces with harissa. Fry them with a drop of oil in another frying pan for 3 minutes on each side, until browned.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, honey and a pinch of salt and pepper to make a dressing.
- Toss the spinach with half of the dressing and divide between two bowls. Top the spinach with asparagus and peppers, then add the halloumi. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and scatter the date halves and toasted pumpkin seeds.
