Dense Bean Salad

Ingredients

  • Halloumi cheese 
  • Cherry tomatoes 
  • Chickpeas 
  • Walnuts
  • Pine nuts
  • Cucumber 
  • Scallions
  • Red pepper
  • Spicy or regular olive oil 

The dressing:

  • 1 Shallot, sliced
  • 4 tbsp White wine or champagne vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Good olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Pepper

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400. Add walnuts & pine nuts to a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for about 7-10 min, moving around halfway through. Nuts should be browned and slightly crispy. Let cool and roughly chop.
  • Slice halloumi and add to a hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 min per side or until nicely golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Slice all veggies and combine in a large bowl.
  • Combine dressing ingredients and pour overtop veggies and beans. The salad will only taste better as the dressing absorbs throughout the week. Enjoy!
