How to Make Asparagus Halloumi And Pine Nut Salad
- Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus and discard. Wash and set aside.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp.
- Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside to dry.
- While the asparagus cooks, prepare the halloumi. Pat the halloumi dry with paper towels. Slice into 8 pieces.
- Season the flour with salt and pepper. Press each halloumi slice into the seasoned flour to coat evenly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi slices and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the salad, arrange the asparagus on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Top with the warm halloumi slices.
- Drizzle generously with the lemon-parsley dressing.
- Sprinkle with pine nuts.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
