Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams halloumi cheese
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 small red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Lightly brush each side of the halloumi slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the halloumi slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the halloumi is grilling, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
Toss the salad with the dressing until evenly coated.
Arrange the grilled halloumi slices on top of the salad.
Serve immediately for a fresh and zesty keto-friendly meal.
