Crispy Shredded Halloumi Salad (with kale)

Recipe video above. This salad is all about the crispy halloumi crumble! Just shred halloumi with a box grater and pan fry until golden - it's like pangrattato, but better because it's cheese. ๐Ÿ™‚I use it to shower a salad made with rice, finely chopped kale, pine nuts and red onion in a garlic vinaigrette for a salad designed to be eaten with a spoon, so you get a bit of everything in every mouthful.Great warm or at room temperature. Serves 4 as a light meal (top with a soft boiled egg!), or 5 to 6 as a side. Try it with Honey Garlic Chicken Breast, crispy Pan Seared Fish, or Country Pork Chops. See notes for meal prepping, the halloumi stays crispy for days!

Instructions

  1. 01

    Dressing - Put the ingredients in a jar and shake well until combined. Set aside to let the garlic flavour meld.

  2. 02

    Toast pine nuts - Heat a large-non stick fry pan over medium heat, no oil. Add the pine nuts and stir regularly for 3 minutes or until they have light brown spots. Remove into a bowl. (Note 4 for oven method)

  3. 03

    Crispy shredded halloumi - Return the pan to the stove and heat the olive oil on high. Cook the shredded halloumi for 5 minutes until most of is golden or deep golden, not brown, lowering the heat to medium high if patches brown too quickly. Transfer into a bowl while you dress the kale. They will crisp up even more as they cool.

  4. 04

    Scrunch and dress kale - Place the kale and red onion in a bowl. Pour over about 2 tablespoons of the Dressing then use your hands to massage it into the kale leaves. Scrunch boldy - kale can take it!

  5. 05

    Toss - Add the rice, dill, most of the pine nuts and remaining Dressing. Toss well.

  6. 06

    Plate up - Spread the salad in a wide shallow serving bowl (for maximum sprinkling surface area!). Cover the surface wtih the crispy halloumi and remaining pine nuts. You could also do this in individual bowls. Serve!
