Halloumi Persimmon Salad With Creamy Miso Dressing
Ingredients:
– 1 block of halloumi cheese
– 2 ripe persimmons
– Mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, and frisee)
– 1/4 cup of toasted walnuts
– For the Creamy Miso Dressing:
– 2 tablespoons white miso paste
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the halloumi cheese. Cut the block of halloumi into slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the halloumi slices. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Once done, set aside to cool slightly.
2. Next, prepare the persimmons. Peel and slice them into thin wedges or cubes, whichever you prefer. The vibrant orange color of persimmons adds a pop of color and sweetness to the salad.
3. Now, it’s time to assemble the salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, toasted walnuts, cooked halloumi slices, and sliced persimmons. Toss gently to mix everything together evenly.
4. To make the Creamy Miso Dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, honey, and rice vinegar until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Drizzle the Creamy Miso Dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients with the flavorful dressing. Make sure the dressing is evenly distributed for a delicious bite in every forkful.
6. Serve the Halloumi Persimmon Salad with Creamy Miso Dressing on individual plates or in a large salad bowl for sharing. Garnish with additional toasted walnuts or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor if desired.
