Ingredients
For the halloumi
- 1 g block of halloumi cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp zataar
- 1/2 tsp sumac
- 2 tbsp honey
For the salad
- 1 1/4 cup cooked quinoa (about 1/2 cup dry)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 8 medjool dates, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (optional: if you can find them in-store)
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (about half a lemon)
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
- 2 tbsp hot water (or more if needed)
Instructions
- Cook the halloumi by heating a pan to medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a pan, once warm add the halloumi, sumac and zataar and cook, stirring often, until browned and crispy, about 6-10 minutes. Remove to a plate or bowl and drizzle with honey - set aside.
- Next, add all of the salad ingredients to a bowl and set aside (chopped parsley, chopped mint, chopped cucumber, carrots, dates, chopped almonds, cooked quinoa and avocado).
- Make the dressing by combining all of the dressing ingredients and whisking together or shaking in a jar - start with 2 tbsp hot water to help thin and then add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Finally, add the cooked halloumi to the salad, drizzle with the dressing and toss.
Notes
- If you don't have zataar, you can use more sumac. If you don't have sumac, just use more zataar. If you don't have either spice just try a pinch of pepper, dried thyme and add a bit of lemon zest once it comes off the heat.
- This salad would also be delicious topped with your choice of protein for a full meal or meal-prepped for lunch!
