Vegetables! I promised didn’t I? I’m a weirdo who loves veggies and salad to pieces; it’s my jam along with ice cream. Balance, right? This “salad” knows no bounds. It’s got seasonally delicious crisp green beans, some grilled halloumi, and roasted lemons and shallots.

I topped it with lemony za’tar breadcrumbs for some extra zing to send your taste buds into salad heaven. It’s also basically a meal. It’s heavier so more of a main component of your meal versus a side salad situation.

Za’tar is a middle Eastern spice that can be found in most supermarkets now. I really enjoy adding it to various dishes, including pork chops, yogurt for pita, etc. It brings a great new element to the dish without overpowering all the original flavours.

I love salads that eat like a meal and these ones are no exception:

  • Kale Caesar with Wheat Berries: has a totally yummy egg-free dressing that we make on the regular.
  • Melon, Fig, and Prosciutto Salad: SUMMER. Such good summer flavours.
  • Lentil and Cauliflower Dill Salad: hearty with lots of nutritious ingredients that come together and taste good.

Course: Salad
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 side servings
Author: Samantha
Ingredients
  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 1 lbs (454 grams) green beans, trimmed
  • 1 pkg (250 grams) halloumi cheese
  • 2 medium shallot, peeled and quartered
  • 1.5 medium lemons, scrubbed and cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp za’atar spice mix*
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a small baking tray with aluminum foil and bake lemon wedges and shallot quarters for 15-20 minutes. Until charred in spots and well caramelized. Remove from oven and set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and place halloumi in pan gently. Fry until golden brown, flipping once, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

  3. Leaving pan at medium-high heat, add green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes until desired tenderness is reached (we like ours crunchy so closer to the 5 minute mark). Remove from pan and set aside.

  4. In the same pan add break crumbs and za’atar. Cook, stirring and watching closely until breadcrumbs have browned, about 3-5 minutes.

  5. Assemble on a dish by layering cheese, beans, shallots, roasted lemons, and breadcrumbs. Squeeze remaining 1/2 lemon over top.

  6. Note that I did not use salt or pepper in this recipe. Halloumi is quite salty on it’s own from my taste perspective. If you feel the need, season away.

Recipe Notes

* za'atar is a Middle Eastern Spice mix that can be found at most grocery stores in the spice aisle. 

Enjoy! xo
