Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams halloumi cheese
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 pieces fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slabs.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat and brush it with olive oil.
Grill halloumi slabs for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice golden color and crisp edges. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the halloumi is grilling, slice the avocado and tomato into thin slices, and the cucumber into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make a simple dressing.
Toss the avocado, tomato, and cucumber with the dressing to coat evenly.
Place two large lettuce leaves on a clean surface. These will serve as the 'wrap' for the sandwich.
Layer each leaf with grilled halloumi, a portion of the dressed vegetables, and a few fresh mint leaves.
Top with the remaining lettuce leaves to close the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of your low carb grilled halloumi sandwich.
