My favorite salad recipe

Written by The Lilypad. Posted in Blog, General

TGIF! Polly Amanda (amandajane) here with my favorite salad recipe. I love this salad and everyone who comes to our house has tried and loved it too. The recipe is by Donna Hay.

roasted haloumi, bacon and tomato salad

 
  •  250g haloumi, sliced
  •  4 rashers bacon, rind removed
  •  200g sourdough bread, chopped
  •  2 tablespoons olive oil
  •  250g truss cherry tomatoes
  •  80g baby spinach leaves

dressing

  •  ½ cup (125ml) red wine vinegar
  •  2 tablespoons olive oil
  •  1 clove garlic, crushed

  Preheat oven to 220ºC (425ºF). To make the dressing, place the vinegar, oil and garlic in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

Place the haloumi, bacon, bread and olive oil on a baking tray and toss to combine. Roast for 5–6 minutes. Turn the haloumi and add the tomatoes. Roast for a further 6–8 minutes or until the tomatoes are cooked and the croutons are golden. Place in a bowl with the baby spinach and dressing and toss to combine. Serves 4.

I usually use a bit more baby spinach and cut the cherry tomatoes in half because when my kids eat them whole, they spurt everywhere!

So have a great weekend and dont forget to check out all the new goodies in the store today!
