My love for haloumi is well documented and so this haloumi brown rice salad has quickly become a favourite for work lunches and potluck dinners. It’s quick and easy to whip up, fresh and filling and oh-so-delicious!
I slightly tweaked the recipe from one I found at Taste

I love that this haloumi brown rice salad can be whipped up in the time it takes the rice to cook. The pecans and pepitas add such delicious crunch to the salad and I love the freshness from the radish as well. Seriously, such a good combination!
I was such a happy camper each day when lunchtime rolled around at work and I could take this salad outside in the sunshine to enjoy. It kept me nice and full through the afternoon as well!
