Instructions
- 01
Cut the halloumi into ½” slices then into ½” cubes. Dry the cubes with a paper towel so they crisp more easily.
- 02
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and spray with avocado oil. Add the halloumi to the pan.
- 03
Cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the halloumi is golden on both sides.
- 04
While the halloumi cooks, make the dressing. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, white vinegar, grated garlic, black pepper, salt, and za’atar until smooth.
- 05
Transfer the cooked halloumi to a plate lined with a paper towel to cool.
- 06
Chop the lettuce into ¾” pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine, then top with the halloumi croutons. Serve immediately.
