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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe but not overripe. Ripe avocados will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. When using, cut the avocado lengthwise and scoop out the creamy flesh.
  • Use fresh or frozen prawns: Fresh prawns work best in this recipe, but frozen prawns can also be used if thawed properly. To thaw frozen prawns, place them in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry before using.
  • Cook the prawns properly: Prawns cook quickly, so it is essential not to overcook them. Pan-fry or grill the prawns for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the prawns tough.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing for this salad is made with mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk the ingredients until smooth. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
  • Assemble the salad: Combine the cooked prawns, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This avocado and prawn salad is a delicious and refreshing dish perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of creamy avocado, succulent prawns, tangy tomatoes, and crisp spinach leaves is a flavor sensation. The lemony dressing adds a delightful zest that brings all the ingredients together. With its vibrant colors and textures, this salad is sure to impress your family and friends. So, gather your ingredients and experiment with different variations of this versatile recipe. Enjoy your culinary journey and happy cooking!
