Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 8 oz halloumi into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Pat dry with paper towels to help them brown.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add the 5 cups spinach and toss to coat.

  4. Step 4

    Add the 1 cup cooked beets (diced), 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, and 1/4 cup walnuts to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.

  5. Step 5

    Top the salad with the warm halloumi slices and serve immediately.
