This warm halloumi salad with roasted sweet potatoes, brown lentils, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach is a simple, healthy, and satisfying weeknight meal. Creamy avocado and a tangy lime-yogurt dressing add freshness, while golden-fried halloumi brings a rich, salty flavor. Colorful pomegranate seeds and the mix of textures make each bite enjoyable.

Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat). Thoroughly wash or peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform cubes, approximately 1 cm (½ inch) in size. Toss the sweet potatoes with rapeseed oil, salt, and pepper, spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

|
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes, wash and spin-dry the spinach. Drain the lentils.
3
|
Mash the avocado with a fork, then mix with the yogurt and season with salt, pepper and the juice of half to a whole lime.
4
|
Slice the halloumi into thin slices, spread a teaspoon of rapeseed or olive oil in a (non-stick) pan, and fry the halloumi on both sides until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, for about 5 minutes total. (Only turn the halloumi once the water has evaporated and the underside is golden brown.)

Place sweet potatoes, lentils, pomegranate seeds, spinach and tomatoes in a bowl, mix with the dressing and then serve with the halloumi slices.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Halloumi Searing Technique 🧀
    Pat halloumi slices completely dry before frying to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust without sticking to the pan.
  • Lentil Prep Pro 🥣
    Rinse brown lentils thoroughly and season the cooking water with a bay leaf or garlic clove to enhance their natural flavor profile.
  • Sweet Potato Roasting Hack 🍠
    Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes and spread them out on the baking sheet to ensure even caramelization and crispy edges.
  • Pomegranate Seed Trick 💥
    Remove pomegranate seeds by tapping the halved fruit with a wooden spoon over a bowl to quickly and cleanly extract the seeds without mess.
  • Lime-Yogurt Dressing Balance 🥄
    Whisk yogurt dressing just before serving and add lime zest for an extra layer of citrusy brightness that complements the rich halloumi.
