Method
- Stir all the ingredients together in a Tupperware container with a lid.

- Shake the salad and dressing together gently to allow the dressing to be absorbed into the grains and halloumi cheese.
- After 5 minutes of allowing the salad to sit upside down and right side up tip the contents onto a platter or into a bowl and serve as an accompaniment or a one bowl lunch or dinner.
Tips
If you can't find the packet of ready cooked wheatberries, red rice, freekeh, black barley and quinoa, add 250g of any combination of the above and add this to the salad instead.
This salad is great on its own as bowl food.
I served mine with a slice of spinach pie.
In the summer I would add it to my BBQ buffet.
It would be delicious for Meat Free Monday.
Without the halloumi use silken tofu instead and replacing the honey for golden syrup, it make a delicious vegan meal.
