With the excess of rich foods consumed over the holidays, dishes of this nature are a welcome respite. The fried halloumi adds just the right amount of texture and the sweetness of the mint and apple balance out the dish beautifully.
What you'll need:
- 1 cup of thinly sliced cabbage (feel free to substitute arugula or other greens of your choice)
- 1/4 cup scallions
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds, roasted
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Half an apple, thinly sliced
- S+P to taste
- 3 thick slices of halloumi
- Splash of olive olive
- Juice of half a lemon
Roast your pumpkin seeds stirring continuously for a few minutes on high in a non-stick frying pan, then remove. Add a splash of oil and allow it to come to temperature. Add your halloumi, and fry on both sides roughly 1-2 minutes, or until brown.
Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, tossing until thoroughly combined. Serve in a large bowl, top with halloumi and garnish with pumpkin seeds.
Enjoy!
