Introduction
Introducing the Halloumi Boats with Avocado Smash & Celery: a refreshing and flavorful appetizer or light meal. These vibrant boats are packed with creamy avocado, crispy halloumi, and crunchy celery - a simple yet satisfying combination.
For this Dusted & Salty delight, you'll need an air fryer.
Ingredients:
2-3 large celery stalks, washed and trimmed
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Dusted & Salty powdered Himalayan salt and black pepper to taste
1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
Tablespoon of Garlic Powder
20g Grated Macadamia nuts
2-3 slices of Halloumi
Process
Begin by thoroughly washing the celery stalks to remove any dirt.
Trim the ends of the stalks.
Cut the stalks into manageable 4-5 inch pieces.
In a bowl, gently toss the prepared celery pieces with olive oil.
Season generously with Dusted & Salty powdered Himalayan salt and black pepper, ensuring even coating.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
Add lime or lemon juice to the mashed avocado to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
Season with Dusted & Salty powdered Himalayan salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Add some of the grated Macademia’s into the mashed Avocado
Heat a skillet, grill pan, or air fryer.
Cook the halloumi strips for 2-3 minutes per side (or 5-7 minutes in the air fryer, flipping halfway), until golden brown and softened.
Assemble the boats
Use a spoon to fill the hollowed centers of the celery "boats" with the prepared avocado smash.
Carefully arrange the cooked halloumi strips on top of the avocado smash in each celery "boat."
Sprinkle the rest of Macademias over the celery boats
Hold up! For an extra burst of natural saltiness, add a few shakes of our powdered Himalayan salt.
