Ingredients
- 5 cups baby spinach
- 8 ounces haloumi cheese
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the baby spinach in a large salad bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Slice the haloumi into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the haloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the bacon slices and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the bowl with the spinach.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Add the fried haloumi and crumbled bacon to the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spinach Bacon Haloumi Salad!
