- 50 grams Arugula
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the plant-based halloumi cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices.
Brush each slice of halloumi with olive oil on both sides.
Cut the burger buns in half and lightly brush the insides with olive oil.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash well to make a creamy spread.
Place the halloumi slices on the preheated grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and grill marks appear.
In the last couple of minutes, place the burger buns cut side down on the grill to lightly toast them.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on the bottom half of each bun.

Top with the other half of the bun.
