Provided by The Mediteranean Dish

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large Roma tomato, diced
1/2 seedless English cucumber (hot house cucumber), diced
1 shallot, sliced
2 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced, and tossed in fresh lemon juice to avoid browning
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, more to your liking
3 to 4 oz halloumi cheese, optional, cut into small cubes
10-15 basil leaves, gathered together and thinly sliced (chiffonade)
Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil (only if using halloumi)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tsp za'atar spice, more to sprinkle
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the vinaigrette. Place vinaigrette ingredients in a mason jar, cover tightly and shake until well-combined. Set aside for now (you'll want to give the vinaigrette another shake before using).
  • In a salad bowl, add all the salad ingredients except the halloumi cheese and basil. Pour the vinaigrette and give the salad a gentle toss. Taste and adjust seasoning, add a sprinkle more of za'tar spice. Add the basil, and give one very quick and gentle toss.
  • If adding halloumi cheese. Combine cheese cubes and about 1 to 2 tbsp or so extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl. Toss to coat the cheese with the EVOO. Heat an indoor griddle over medium heat. Add cheese cubes and grill for 2-3 minutes, turning over on all sides, until lightly browned and nice char marks appear (it should be crisp on the outside and nice and melty on the inside).
  • Add the grilled Halloumi to the salad and serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices whole-grain or whole wheat bread
2 tablespoons sliced skin-on almonds
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Juice and zest of 1/2 orange plus other half reserved
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 large avocado, halved, pitted, scooped and quartered
5 ounces baby arugula (about 8 cups)
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
5 radishes, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the bread and almonds on a baking sheet, and bake, flipping the bread once, until it is toasted and crunchy and the almonds are golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, put the vinegar, orange juice and zest, oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid, and shake until combined. (The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead; shake well before serving.)
  • Put an avocado quarter on each slice of toast, and mash and spread the avocado with a fork to cover. Quarter each piece of toast, and arrange the pieces on 4 plates with the points facing out to make a square.
  • Toss the arugula, toasted almonds, feta, radishes and vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Put a mound of salad on top of each avocado toast square. Quarter the remaining orange half, and garnish each salad with a piece.
