I did add a few twists, because I didn’t have all their ingredients at home, but instead I used my old stale bread, added some Halloumi, cucumber and enjoyed this Summery salad in all its beauty!
Check out my REEL on how I did!
Middle Eastern Salad
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup stale/old bread multi grain, shred into pieces
- 1 tbsp Sumac
- 1 tbsp Za’atar
- handful of cherry tomatoes (cut in half) cut in half
- half of cucumber (sliced) sliced
- handful of walnuts
- 1 shallot finely sliced
- lettuce leaves
- Halloumi
- 6 tbsp oil
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fry your walnuts and bread golden brown in 2 tbsp oil and on medium heat. Season with Sumac, salt & pepper, mix well and remove from the pan.
- Then slice your Halloumi and fry in the same pan with 2 tbsp olive oil until both sides are golden brown. This takes about 10 minutes on medium heat. Remove from the pan.
- Toss your sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumber, shallot in a bowl and season with 2 tbsp olive oil, Zaatar and add salt & pepper to taste. Finally mix the lettuce leaves in.
- N.B. You can also add the Halloumi and fried bread + walnuts in the bowl but I like my bread crunchy, so I topped it on my salad.
- Serve the salad mixture on a plate, place the Halloumi in the salad and sprinkle the bread + walnut on top. Serve immediately!
