Instructions

Prep

1 Prep

  • Pat dry the halloumi and slice into thin slabs.
  • Trim and roughly chop the lettuce.
  • Deseed and slice the dates into strips.
  • Peel the carrot (discard the skin), then continue peeling until you are left with a pile of carrot ribbons.
  • Trim and cut the radish into thin rounds.
  • Trim the sugar snap peas and cut in half.
Tip! Submerge the carrot ribbons and radish in iced water for 30 minutes to give them extra crunch and curl.
Make dukkah & dressing

2 Make dukkah & dressing

  • Peel and mince the garlic.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the coriander cumin powder, zaatar and dried mint. This is your dukkah.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the tahini, apple cider vinegar, measured water until combined and smooth.
  • Then mix in the half of the honey (reserving the rest for the halloumi), olive oil and minced garlic until combined.
Tip! If your tahini looks thick or split, don’t worry! Just add a splash of cold water or lemon juice and stir well—it’ll turn smooth and creamy in no time.
Toast almonds

3 Toast almonds

  • Heat a pan on low-medium heat and add the almond flakes.
  • Toast the nuts in a dry hot pan for 2-3 min until fragrant and starting to brown.
  • Transfer to a small bowl and reserve the pan.
Fry halloumi

4 Fry halloumi

  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry the halloumi for 1-2 min each side until golden.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Drizzle over the remaining honey and sprinkle the over the dukkah generously.
  • Flip to coat on all sides.
Tip! If using an air fryer, preheat to 180°C. Air fry the halloumi for 5-6 min until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.
Toss the salad

5 Toss the salad

  • In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, carrots, radish, dates and sugar snap peas with a drizzle of the tahini dressing, reserving the rest of the dressing for serving.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Lay down a bed of the mixed salad.
  • Top with the coated halloumi and toasted almonds.
  • Serve the Zaatar-Spiced Halloumi, Carrot and Date Salad. Drizzle over any remaining Creamy Tahini Dressing.
  • Sprinkle over any remaining dukkah to taste.
