RECIPE: SWEET AND SPICY HALLOUMI JEWELLED SALAD⁣ Well, it’s the dog days of summer, and I am feeling a bit sad, but summer isn’t over YET. I have this beautiful sweet, spicy, crunchy salad for you, made with local Ontario Halloumi cheese - it is the star of this salad. It comes together so quickly, and you can take it with you to a picnic to enjoy with grilled meat, fish, or vegetables. Everyone will be obsessed! #sponsored⁣ ⁣ MAKE AHEAD:⁣ If you are taking it to a picnic, or having it the next day, arrange all the chopped salad ingredients in one container in segments, (without tossing together,) and place seared halloumi in a separate container. Before serving, toss seared halloumi, salad, and dressing together. ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients:⁣ ⁣ Seared Halloumi⁣ 1 8-oz block Ontario Halloumi cheese, cut into ½-in cubes⁣ 2 Tbsp maple syrup⁣ 1 tsp chili crisp⁣ 2 Tbsp vegetable oil⁣ ⁣ Salad⁣ 1 cup pomegranate arils⁣ 1 cup Persian cucumber, finely diced⁣ 2 scallions, sliced thin diagonally, green and white parts included⁣ ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped, (both leaves and stems)⁣ 1 cup finely chopped Belgian white endive leaves (approx 2 endives)⁣ ½ cup chives, finely chopped⁣ 1 cup sungold (or your fave cherry tomato) tomatoes, halved⁣ **1 small red pepper, sliced diagonally (optional)⁣ ⁣ Dressing⁣ 1 lime, juiced⁣ ⅓ cup olive oil⁣ Sea salt, to taste⁣ ⁣ In a small bowl, toss halloumi with maple syrup and chili crisp. In a medium non-stick pan, add 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil and place on medium heat. Working in batches, start searing off the cheese (I used tiny tongs). It will sputter, so be careful. Using tongs, turn occasionally till golden on both sides. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine all the salad ingredients, dressing, and gently mix to combine. Transfer to a serving dish, place halloumi on top. Give it another toss, and enjoy!⁣ ⁣ #InspiredByDairy #EverybodyMilk #spicespoon #summerentertaining #summersalad #choppedsalad #appetizers #chopped #Halloumi #cheese #ontariocheese #dairy #ilovedairy #ilovemilk #dairyrecipes #milk #ontariodairy #dairyfarmersofontario #pomegranate #plantbased
