Cauliflower and Halloumi Salad

Using a little creativity and leftover fridge ingredients I made this cauliflower and halloumi salad. It's quite easy to put together and it's even better when you add your own touches to it.

Ingredients

For the salad:
  • 500 g cauliflower grated (alternatively you can pulse it a few times in the food processor to get that fine texture)
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 cup kale finely shredded (spinach or Swiss Chard work well too)
  • ¼ cup pistachios
  • 2 tablespoon dried cranberries (chopped dates work well too)
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 225 g halloumi cheese cut into “fingers”
  • 1 tablespoon Coriander finely chopped
For the dressing:
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over a medium sized heat. Add the grated cauliflower, garlic and greens and sauté for 5 mins until cauliflower is cooked through and greens are wilted. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Add the pistachios, dried cranberries and sumac. Toss until well combined. Clean the pan and heat on a medium high heat with a little oil.
  3. Clean the pan and heat on medium-high heat with a little oil. Fry the halloumi "fingers" for 2 min each side until golden brown. Once cooked set aside.
  4. Combine the dressing ingredients and pour over cauliflower salad. Top with the fried halloumi and garnish with freshly chopped coriander.

Notes

  • I have provided a rough guide with these ingredients. When you’re playing with food in this relaxed manner it’s fun to add your own twist to things. If you like something, add it. If you don’t then that’s good too.
