Instrucciones
- 1.In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 400ml of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, prepare the vegetables. In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and the rinsed chickpeas.
- 3.Make the vinaigrette by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, oregano, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 4.Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Pat the halloumi slices dry and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown and crisp. No extra oil is needed.
- 5.To assemble, add the cooked quinoa to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour over the vinaigrette and toss everything to combine. Divide the quinoa salad among four bowls and top with the warm, seared halloumi slices before serving.
