Middle Eastern Salad

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

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!
