Servings 4
Ingredients
- 8 ounces halloumi
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces strawberries
- 5 ounces spring salad mix
- ¼ cup salted pepitas
- 1 bunch radishes about 10
Cilantro Lime Dressing
- 1 jalapeno sliced, seeds removed if desired
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 cup cilantro packed
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- To make the dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Adjust salt, spice, and sweetness to your taste.
- Cut the tops off the strawberries, and slice them. Remove the tops from the radishes, and thinly slice those too.
- Slice the halloumi into 1/4 inch slices. Heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet.
- Fry the halloumi slices in the oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove halloumi and place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb the excess oil.
- Assemble the salad: add spring mix to a large bowl, then top with strawberries, radishes, salted pepitas, and fried halloumi. Drizzle with the cilantro jalapeno dressing as desired, and enjoy!
