Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette

Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette

I’m starting to think that this Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette might just be my new favourite thing. It’s one of those dishes that is fantastic in its simplicity. It combines so many of my favourite things to eat – haloumi, pesto, macadamias and broccolini. It’s quick and easy to make. And it’s a delightful vegetarian option for when you are hankering for a meat free night!

I love that it uses ingredients that I generally have on hand. I do use my own pesto, but I more often than not have a batch in the fridge. However any good store bought variety would work just as well. I’ve usually got tomatoes, olives, nuts and haloumi in the house and there are always some greens of some sort lurking around. Yes I’ve used broccolini and zucchini in the recipe but you could also use broccoli, asparagus, beans or snow peas and still end up with a delightful salad. And any salad leaf from baby spinach to rocket, kale to beetroot leaves, or any ready made mixed leaf works perfectly. It’s up to you and what you have on hand!

However you recreate this Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette you will enjoy every bite!

Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette

Ingredients

200g haloumi, sliced
1 bunch broccolini
1 medium zucchini
Mixed salad leaf
6-8 mini roma tomatoes, halved or quartered
12 pitted kalamata olives, halved
A handful of macadamias
2 tablespoons pesto
Juice of half a lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar

Instructions

1
For the dressing, combine the pesto, lemon juice, olive oil and vinegar in a bowl and mix well to combine. Taste and add more of any ingredient if required.
2
Slice the zucchini thinly and trim the broccolini into similar size pieces. Steam until just cooked. Drain and toss through about half the dressing. Set aside to cool.
3
Heat a frying pan or bbq to very hot and add a little olive oil. Add the haloumi and cook until golden brown on both sides. This will take a few minutes on each side.
4
While the haloumi is cooking, place a handful or two of mixed lettuce leaf into the base of two bowls. Top with the dressed vegetables then scatter over the macadamias, olives and tomato.
5
When cooked add the haloumi to the bowls then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
