Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh figs
- 200 grams Halloumi cheese
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 150 grams Mixed greens
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
- 4 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Cut each fig in half and slice the halloumi into 1-inch cubes.
3. Thread the figs, halloumi, and cherry tomatoes onto the wooden skewers, alternating ingredients for variety.
4. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, then brush this mixture over the skewers.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the figs are caramelized and the halloumi has grill marks.
6. While the skewers are grilling, prepare the mixed greens base. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and the red onion into fine slices. Toss them with the mixed greens in a large serving bowl.
7. In another small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and freshly chopped mint leaves to make the dressing.
8. Drizzle the dressing over the mixed greens and toss gently to coat.
9. When the skewers are cooked, remove them from the grill and place them on top of the dressed greens.
10. Finish the dish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the top of the skewers for added sweetness and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant Mediterranean dish!
