Instructions
Salad Preparation
Set your oven to 200 degrees celcius (if you want the dish warm)

Mix the dressing
Add the salad vegetables to the dressing and let them soak for about 10 minutes.
Hot or Cold?
If you are into raw food and want this dish cold, simply add the pomegranate seeds and serve on top of a spinach bed.
If you want this as a warm dish - spread your vegetable mix onto an oven tray and roast them for ca 20 minutes.
When the oven has done its job, spread the warm vegetables onto a cold spinach bed.
If you choose to have Halloumi on top - simply shallow fry the Halloumi cheese for max 2 minutes per side in a frying pan, and add on top of the dish.
Spinkle your pomegranate seeds over the dish as a final flurry and serve.
Enjoy!
Notes
This works cold or warm, you choose. The Halloumi cheese adds salty to the sweet, tangy vegetables and fruity salad - and make for an excellent Vegetarian main meal. You can also have it as a buffet dish and serve with meats, or fish - or why not a festive season side dish?
