🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, replace the halloumi and sour cream with firm plant-based grilling cheese and a plain unsweetened vegan yogurt or creamy tahini sauce. Skip the pistachios for a nut-free plate, or swap them with toasted seeds if you still want crunch.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm flatbread or pita to scoop up the rice and salad, plus extra lemon wedges for brightness. A simple cucumber-tomato side or crunchy pickles fit the bold, savory flavors without overpowering the halloumi.
