Ingredients

1/4 cup of brown rice

60 grams of haloumi, sliced into strips

1 large handful of salad greens, washed & dried well

1 small cucumber, peeled into ribbons

1 small carrot, julienne

1 long green shallot / scallion, sliced into strips

1 tablespoon of almonds, toasted & chopped (optional)

1/2 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil

Dressing

2 tablespoons of Greek Yoghurt, plain coconut yoghurt, or coconut milk

1 small clove of garlic, sliced

Zest of 1 lemon

1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice

1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves

1 pinch of sea salt

Method

Cook the rice as per instructions and set aside to cool a little.

While the rice is cooking, make the dressing by blitzing all ingredients together in a small blender. If you don’t have a small blender you can finely chop & mince all ingredients and then mix together. If you are using coconut yoghurt it can be quite thick. Add a few teaspoons of water until you get a great dressing consistency.

Prepare the salad ingredients.

Place a mound of rice and all salad ingredients into your serving bowl.

Heat a small pan to a medium heat. If you are toasting nuts do this prior to cooking the haloumi. It will only take 2-3mins to toast them. Then chop them and set aside.

In the same pan heat the oil and cook the haloumi for 1-2 minutes each side until golden brown.

Top the salad with the haloumi, add the dressing and the nuts. Enjoy, so delicious!
