Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dairy-free halloumi
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 small red onion
Instructions
Begin by slicing the dairy-free halloumi into 1/2 inch thick slices.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with some of the olive oil.
Place the halloumi slices onto the grill pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the cheese is heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the cucumber.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, mint, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.
Add the grilled halloumi slices on top of the salad.
Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the salad and toss lightly to combine.
Serve the salad immediately, ensuring each serving gets a good amount of grilled halloumi and vegetables.
