Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

11 ounces Greek yogurt
1 pinch salt
3 cups self-rising flour
1 drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
¾ (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
9 ounces grated halloumi cheese
2 medium scallions, finely chopped
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Place yogurt in a large bowl and stir in salt. Gradually add flour, a few tablespoons at a time, until you have a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead with your hands until soft and slightly tacky. Place the dough in a lightly floured bowl, cover with a clean tea towel, and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, warm a frying pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then add spinach, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir, about 5 minutes. Take off of the heat and allow to cool, about 10 minutes. Stir in halloumi, scallions, and Italian seasoning.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll out each ball into a 10- to 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Place some spinach filling on one side of each circle and fold the dough over. Seal the edges with a fork.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Combine melted butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a bowl, and brush onto both sides of the gozleme. Cook each gozleme in the hot pan until golden, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Cut each gozleme into 4 slices and finish with several squeezes of lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Select the right spinach. Baby spinach or young spinach leaves are ideal for this salad, as they have a tender texture and mild flavor.
  • Use fresh halloumi cheese. Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese that has a high melting point, making it perfect for grilling or pan-frying. Fresh halloumi will have a slightly squeaky texture.
  • Slice the halloumi cheese evenly. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Grill or pan-fry the halloumi cheese until it is golden brown and slightly crispy. This will give it a delicious flavor and texture.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. A dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is a great option for this salad.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for this salad include cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Spinach halloumi salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of spinach, halloumi cheese, and dressing is simply irresistible. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this salad at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give spinach halloumi salad a try!
