This salad is vibrant and tasty and packed with nutrients, making it an excellent choice for a light lunch or a side dish for dinner.

Preparation: 10 mins

Cooking times: 30 mins

(Serves 4)

  • 200g freekeh
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 225g halloumi, sliced
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 2 nectarines, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cook the Freekeh:

  • Rinse the freekeh under cold water.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 600ml of water to a boil. Add the vegetable stock cube and dissolve.
  • Add the freekeh to the boiling water, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
  • Drain any excess water and let the freekeh cool.

Prepare the Halloumi:

  • While the freekeh is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Assemble the Salad:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled freekeh, diced tomatoes, sliced nectarines, and chopped red onion.
  • Add the chopped mint and parsley to the bowl.

Dress the Salad:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

Serve:

  • Arrange the salad on a serving platter or individual plates.
  • Top with the golden halloumi slices.
  • Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for a cooler salad.
