Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Gluten-free bread
- 200 g Halloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the halloumi cheese into four even 1/2-inch thick slices.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Brush the halloumi slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on both sides.
Grill the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and lightly charred.
Meanwhile, slice the tomato into thin rounds and the cucumber into thin discs. Cut the red onion into thin slices.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Add salt and black pepper to taste to make the dressing.
Toast the gluten-free bread slices in a toaster or on a grill until they are golden and crisp.
To assemble each sandwich, place a handful of arugula on one slice of toasted bread. Layer with grilled halloumi cheese, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and red onion rings. Drizzle with the prepared dressing.
Top with the second slice of toasted bread, gently press down, and serve the sandwiches warm.
