Mango, Haloumi & Seed Salad
Mango, Haloumi & Seed Salad
A beautiful salad for this time of year.Mangoes are just coming into season and they provide a fresh, light and flavoursome addition to salads.I LOVE the @redtractorfoods pumpkin and sunflower seed blend – you can find these at @colessupermarkets in the health food aisle.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rocket leaves roughly chopped
- 1.5 cups quinoa white, rinsed
- 1 lebanese cucumber cut into half moons
- 1 cup snow peas roughly chopped
- 1 cup chicken chopped, cooked
- 1 mango large, cut into cubes
- 1 avocado diced into cubes
- 1/2 cup pumpkin redtractor foods
- sunflower seeds blend
- 1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
- 180 g halloumi cheese cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tablespoon honey
- sea salt pinch
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1 lemon juice squeezed
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons mint finely chopped
- sea salt pinch
- cracked black pepper
Instructions
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Sprinkle out the @redtractorfoods pumpkin & sunflower seeds on a lined baking tray. Bake for 12- 14 minutes. Remove and cool.
- For the dressing: Place all ingredients into a small bowl or jug and whisk together. Set aside.
- Place the quinoa, 4 cups water and a pinch of sea salt in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and then immediately turn down to a gentle simmer. Cook for 12-14 minutes and remove it from the heat (you don’t want it to get soggy). Drain and set aside to cool.
- For the salad: In a large bowl, add the rocket, quinoa, cucumber, snow peas, chicken, mango, avocado, mint leaves and toasted pumpkin/sunflower seeds.
- Marinate the halloumi pieces in olive oil, honey and sea salt. Place a medium frying pan onto medium heat and add the halloumi pieces. Pan-fry them for about 2 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and top the salad with the halloumi pieces. Drizzle over the salad dressing and give everything a good toss.
