  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives Contributes a briny depth; can substitute with other black or green olives.

Preparation
  1. Begin by washing and preparing your fresh vegetables: dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and pit the Kalamata olives.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Slice the Halloumi cheese into thick pieces, about ½ inch thick.
  3. Place the Halloumi slices in the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives. Toss gently.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss gently. Layer crispy Halloumi on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
  7. Serve warm immediately for the best flavor and texture.
