3. Combine the lemon juice, harissa, honey and 25ml of the remaining oil in a bowl. Season.
4. Place the roast vegies, quinoa, herbs and half of the dressing in a large bowl. Gently toss to combine.
5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Spray with olive oil. Cook the haloumi, turning, for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining oil. Add the seed mix. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until toasted. Top salad with haloumi, drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with seed mix.
