I have\nbeen wanting to post a new recipe for a few weeks now, I have a few recipes\nready to be published, but haven\u2019t written the blog post for them yet. Since I\nhave a lot going on now and I am being super busy, I decided that instead of\nnot posting at all, I would write shorter posts to accompany my recipes. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although\nnot very common to hear, winter season offers some of my favorite produce for\nsalads. I could even argue that my favorite salads ever are winter salads, I\nmean I miss beetroot all year round and the sweet irresistible pomegranates are\nall what I need for perfect fulfilling salads. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has\nbeen my go-to quick lunch and even dinners for the past few weeks, it is that\ngood. Earthy red beetroots, peppery nutty arugula, warm creamy halloumi all\nmixed with a sweet tangy dressing. Every other night, I boil a few beets and\ncool them in the fridge ready for when I need to make the salad. I prefer to\nuse smaller beets but go with whatever you have available. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you\nhave cooked beets at hand the salad would be ready in under 10 minutes. Slice\nthe halloumi and pan fry it with or without oil for 1.5 \u2013 2 mins per side,\ndepending on how hot your pan is. Slice the beets and make the dressing, it is\nthat easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\ndressing is very versatile and can be used for a lot of things and is worth of\na post on its own. It also works especially well with this salad. The flavors\nof the honey, pomegranate molasses and nigella seeds compliment the beets and\narugula so well, you won\u2019t get enough of it. Since the dressing will have a\nthick consistency it is meant to be drizzled over the salad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another\nquick and easy recipe that doesn\u2019t compromise on flavor!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
