Arugula salad with grated halloumi
We love quick and easy recipes! And this arugula salad with grated halloumi is one of the most fantastic after-work recipes. No matter if it's summer or not, you can always eat a fresh salad and a piece of cheese goes great with it, too. Usually you only know halloumi grilled or fried, right? Then it is now time to process the squeaky cheese in a different way: grated.
Cumin lemons - the highlight
Arugula salad is usually enriched with tomatoes and mozzarella or feta. Some also mix it with pesto and pasta, but the least probably with cumin lemons! Salt lemons you know for sure, but cumin lemons you have not tried yet, right? Super simple and super delicious. You cut the lemons into fine slices and dust them with cumin and salt. Then you let them steep for a while. Juice comes out, which you can use later for the dressing.
Rafik once told me that when he was a child, his mother gave him a slice of lemon sprinkled with cumin when he was hungry for a snack. With me it was only an apple or a dry roll... Quite excitedly he cut me a few months ago a lemon on and sprinkled it with cumin. I was confused. This is what I was supposed to eat now? Skeptically, I shoved the lemon slice into my mouth. Fierce. Crass. Those were my first thoughts... and yes, what can I say? Absolutely delicious!
And so it was somehow clear that they will one day find their way into a salad. Because the tangy lemon slices harmonize perfectly with the tart rocket, the mild halloumi and the crunchy sumac onions....
Now get to grating and make yourself a delicious arugula salad with grated halloumi, cumin lemons and sumac onions! Bon appetit.
