4 servingsBright, hearty, and packed with bold summer flavor, this Citrus Ginger Salad with Grilled Halloumi is the kind of dish that satisfies like a full meal while still feeling fresh and vibrant. Zesty lemon, warm ginger, and crisp scallions come together in a silky dressing made with Wesson Canola Oil, creating a perfectly balanced finish that ties every element together—from fluffy jasmine rice to smoky grilled vegetables and golden, caramelized halloumi.
Wesson Canola Oil plays a key role throughout the recipe, adding a light, clean taste that lets the citrus and ginger shine. It helps the dressing emulsify beautifully while also ensuring the vegetables grill to tender, lightly charred perfection without overpowering their natural sweetness.
Layered with protein-rich black-eyed peas, crisp romaine, and hearty grains, this salad is both nourishing and satisfying—ideal as a standout summer entrée. Even better, it holds up beautifully for meal prep, making it a go-to for packed lunches or next-day leftovers that taste just as fresh and delicious.
