Crispy Halloumi & Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared chicken and golden halloumi slices served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and fresh arugula, finished with a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1.5 oz halloumi cheese
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup arugula
0.25 cup diced cucumber
0.25 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then set aside to rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, cook the halloumi slices for 1-2 minutes per side until they develop a crisp, golden-brown crust.
Whisk together the remaining olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and the rest of the salt, pepper, and oregano in a small bowl to create the vinaigrette.
Combine the arugula, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and cooked quinoa in a large bowl and toss with half of the prepared dressing.
Top the salad with the sliced chicken and crispy halloumi slices, then drizzle with the remaining dressing before serving.
