Ingredients
- 1/2 head cauliflower medium, broken into florets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt & cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup almonds slivered
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 2 cups salad leaves mixed
- 400 g canned chickpeas drained & rinsed
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 1/2 red onion sliced
- 1/2 cup mint leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup dill chopped
- 200 g halloumi cheese cut into slices
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup pure
- 1/2 lemon juice squeezed
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup pure, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a large tray with baking paper.
- Place the cauliflower florets on the tray, drizzle over 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season well. Roast for about 30–35 minutes until browning on the edges. Remove and set aside.
- On a separate baking tray, spread out the almonds and pine nuts. Place in the oven for 15 minutes or until starting to brown. Remove and set aside.
- For the dressing: Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and season well. Adjust to taste.
- To assemble: In a large bowl, place the salad leaves, chickpeas, roasted cauliflower, cranberries, onion, mint, dill and roasted nuts. Pour over the dressing (you may not want to use it all) and toss together. Season well.
- Just before serving, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to a frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the halloumi and fry for 2–3 minutes each side until golden brown. In the last minute, drizzle over the maple syrup and coat. Turn off the heat, season with pepper and squeeze over the lemon juice. Place the halloumi pieces on the salad and serve warm.
