Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Halloumi cheese
- 100 grams Mixed salad greens
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices.
Place the halloumi slices on the hot grill pan. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden and grill marks appear. Once done, set aside to cool slightly.
While the halloumi is grilling, prepare the salad ingredients. Wash and dry the mixed salad greens.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lemon, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Cut the slightly cooled grilled halloumi into smaller bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad.
Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad as a garnish.
Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing, low-fat meal or side dish.
