  1. Marinate the thin sliced onion in red wine vinegar for a few minutes. You could also keep in the fridge for a few days.

  2. Roast the cubed beets in a preheated oven (400 degrees), sprinkle salt, and drizzle olive oil. Roast until tender inside and golden-brown on the outside.

  3. Slice the Halloumi and fry it in a warm pan (no need to add oil). You should hear a sizzling sound when the Halloumi is placed in the pan (I prefer a cast iron pan, but any pan will work). Fry to a golden color on both sides. It should be served warm, so fry it just before you are ready to eat.

  4. Place the spinach in a bowl or on a plate.

  5. Top with the beets in the center.

  6. Place around a handful of pistachios, fried Halloumi cheese, avocado, and onions (see picture).

  7. Sprinkle salt or smoked salt, drizzle fig balsamic.

Delicious and hardy salad for all seasons. It is my own version of a Poke bowl just because of the way I like to plate it and eat it.

You could add or change the greens, nuts, or cheese to your liking. A poached egg would be a great addition, as well.

Be creative and enjoy!
