Salad
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 12 oz halloumi cheese, sliced into 3-inch pieces
- 1 small bunch kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 2 medium yellow beets, boiled until fork-tender, skins removed and cut into wedges
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
- 1 cup cooked lentils
- ¼ cup pickled red onions
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- ½ tsp sea salt
Dressing
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp While My Za'atar Gently Weeps
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
- Massage the kale. In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale with 1 tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp sea salt. Massage with your hands for 1–2 minutes, until the leaves soften and turn a deeper green. Set aside.
- Sear the halloumi. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and blistered. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the dressing. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, While My Za'atar Gently Weeps, lemon zest, lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper until combined.
- Assemble. To the bowl of massaged kale, add the beet wedges, chickpeas, lentils, pickled onions, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over top and toss to coat.
- Finish. Top the salad with the seared halloumi and a final sprinkle of While My Za'atar Gently Weeps. Serve immediately.
