This vibrant salad features pan-fried halloumi, creamy avocado, sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and a kick of jalapeño, all brought together with a cool, creamy homemade ranch dressing that's irresistibly delicious.
Bring a skillet to medium heat and warm up olive or avocado oil. Slice halloumi and pat dry any excess water with a paper or kitchen towel to ensure ultra crispy cheese. Pan fry on each side for approximately 2 minutes until golden, then set aside. Sprinkle sumac over the halloumi and spritz with fresh lime juice to enhance its briny flavor (no extra salt is needed as halloumi is naturally salty).
In a large bowl, combine the salad ingredients (arugula/romaine, cherry tomatoes, corn, avocados, and sliced jalapeño). For the dressing, pulse all dressing ingredients (dried parsley or basil, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, sea salt, Dijon, plain Greek yogurt or Skyr, oat creamer or buttermilk, and fresh lemon juice) until smooth in a food processor or blender. Pour the creamy ranch dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Enjoy every bite!
