Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Halloumi cheese (low sodium)

- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar

Instructions
Slice the low-sodium halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch thick slabs.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Grill the halloumi slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
While the halloumi is grilling, slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings.
Brush the slices of whole grain bread with the remaining olive oil on one side.
Once the halloumi is grilled, lightly toast the bread, oiled side down, on the grill pan for about 1-2 minutes until slightly crispy.
To assemble the sandwich, place a few basil leaves on the toasted side of two bread slices.
Layer on the grilled halloumi, tomato slices, cucumber rounds, and red onion rings.
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic vinegar over the vegetables and sprinkle with black pepper.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, toasted side facing in. Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium grilled halloumi sandwich.
