Halloumi & Pomegranate Salad
SERVES: 8 • TOTAL TIME: 1 HOUR
Ingredients:
3 large or 8 small beetroots, trimmed
400g halloumi, diced into 2cm cubes
4 small heads of radicchio, bases trimmed, leaves separated
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
4½ tbsp olive oil
120g baby spinach
Handful of mint leaves
2 pomegranates
Directions:
Preheat oven to 200ºC.
Put each beetroot in the centre of a square of aluminium foil and add 2 tablespoons of water. Bring sides of foil up around the beetroot to form a sealed parcel. Place on a baking tray and cook in oven for 40-50 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool slightly. When beetroot are cool enough to handle, remove skin and stalks and then slice beetroot into wedge-shaped pieces.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Pat halloumi with a paper towel and cook, turning until all sides are golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove seeds from pomegranates and set aside.
Toss radicchio, beetroot, lemon zest and juice, olive oil and spinach together in a large bowl. Arrange on a serving platter and top with halloumi, pomegranate seeds and mint leaves to serve.
We recommend using Alambra Halloumi Cheese:
The taste and texture of this authentic halloumi cheese is second to none...It is made in Cyprus from a mixture of cow, sheep and goat milk.
