  1. AGAINST THE GRAIN

    Boil a full kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the ancient grain mix and ½ the rub with 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff up with a fork on completion, return the plate over the bowl, and set aside.

  2. NUTS ABOUT

    Place the pistachios in a nonstick pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. MOVE TO THE BEET

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the julienne Beetroot for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. GROOVY Halloumi

    Return the pan to a medium heat, wiped down if necessary, with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Halloumi slabs for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Leave to drain on some paper towel.

  5. GET DRESSED

    In a salad bowl, place the sweet mustard, remaining rub, the juice of 1 Lemon wedge, lemon zest, 20ml of olive oil, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Add the cooked ancient grain mix, rinsed green leaves, julienne Carrot, cooked julienne Beetroot, ½ the toasted pistachio, and ½ the halved dates. Mix until fully coated in the salad dressing.

  6. THE SALAD OF DREAMS
