Kale salad with haloumi croutons
This salad is jam packed with flavour and the super nutritional benefits of kale!
Ingredients
One bunch Kale
Sea Salt
Olives
Truss Tomatoes
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Hunter Bell Haloumi
Dressing
1/4 Cup Tahini
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 tbs Olive Oil
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon mustard
2 tbs water
Salt and Pepper to season.
Cut the kale leaves off the stems and chop into smaller pieces, approximately the size of a 50c piece. Place the kale in a large salad bowl and take up handfuls of kale and scrunch it up in your hands. Don't be afraid to be rough. This is a really important part of the process and tenderise the kale. Continue doing this until all of the kale is tender. Then add in chopped up olives, tomatoes, lemon juice and olive oil. Put aside and cook the haloumi and make the dressing.
For the haloumi cut into 5mm thick strips and fry until crispy in a non stick pan. Once the haloumi has cooled cut it into cubes. Dress the kale then toss the haloumi through the salad.
For the dressing combine all of the ingredients, mix well and season to taste.
Enjoy.
