Khadar salad

This Middle Eastern (khadar means 'greens' in Arabic) variation on a green salad includes additions like barley, pumpkin seeds and avocado, with a well-balanced dressing of tahini, miso paste, honey and lemon juice. It's perfect with pan-fried haloumi or grilled seafood.

Instructions

  1. For the dressing, place all ingredients into a small food processor bowl and blitz until well combined. With the motor running, gradually add enough water to create a pourable dressing.

  3. To serve, divide the salad among plates. Top with the smashed avocado, pepitas and haloumi if using. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
