Zesty Grilled Halloumi and Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared halloumi cheese and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp vegetables and a creamy lemon-yogurt dressing for a vibrant, satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Halloumi cheese
0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
0.25 cup Cooked quinoa
0.25 cup Canned chickpeas
1 cup Baby spinach
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup Cucumber
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Olive oil
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Slice the halloumi into half-inch thick pieces and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust and a softened center.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chickpeas, and cooked quinoa.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure every leaf and grain is well-coated.
Divide the salad into bowls, top with the warm grilled halloumi slices, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
