Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Eggplant
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 200 grams Haloumi cheese
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 150 grams Mixed salad greens
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all vegetables. Cut the zucchini and eggplant into 1/2-inch thick slices. Core and slice the red bell pepper into wide strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Pat the haloumi dry with a paper towel and slice it into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lemon, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped mint, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush the zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Grill the zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.
In the same grill pan, sear the haloumi slices for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
On a large serving platter or in a salad bowl, layer the mixed salad greens, grilled vegetables, seared haloumi slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the lemon herb dressing generously over the salad. Toss gently or serve with the dressing on the side.
Serve immediately as a main course or side dish. Enjoy!
