<p>Try this simple kale and halloumi salad topped with a delightful yoghurt dressing, so it's still packed with flavour.</p>
<p><strong>Serves: </strong>2</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p><strong>For the kale salad</strong></p>
<p>100g kale leaves</p>
<p>½ teaspoon sea salt</p>
<p>30g blanched almonds</p>
<p>1 avocado, peeled, de-stoned and cut into chunks</p>
<p>4 spring onions, thinly sliced</p>
<p>100g radishes, thinly sliced</p>
<p>1 pomegranate, seeds</p>
<p>2 teaspoons sesame seeds</p>
<p>2 teaspoons black sesame seeds</p>
<p><strong>For the halloumi</strong></p>
<p>1 teaspoon turmeric</p>
<p>1 teaspoon hot smoked paprika</p>
<p>3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil</p>
<p>200g halloumi, cut into 1cm-thick slices</p>
<p><strong>For the tahini yoghurt dressing</strong></p>
<p>25ml tahini</p>
<p>100ml Greek yoghurt</p>
<p>½ a lemon, juice and zest for garnish</p>
<p>Sea salt</p>
<p><strong>To serve</strong></p>
<p>2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil</p>
<p><strong>Directions</strong></p>
<p>1. Prep the kale by removing stalks and thick stems, and cut or tear into bite-size pieces. Put the leaves into a large mixing bowl and add the salt, crushing it between your fingers.</p>
<p>2. With both hands, massage the leaves with the salt for a minute or two; it will suddenly feel much softer in your hands.</p>
<p>3. Add all the other ingredients, mix together and set to one side.</p>
<p>4. Turn your grill to its hottest setting. Put the turmeric, paprika and oil into a little bowl and mix. Add the halloumi and coat in the spices and oil.</p>
<p>5. Place the halloumi on a baking sheet and pop under the hot grill. Allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the grill but leave the baking sheet under it to keep warm.</p>
<p>6. For the dressing, put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix with a whisk.</p>
<p>7. To serve, divide the salad between two bowls, add some dressing and top with warm halloumi and an extra drizzle of oil.</p>
