Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g haloumi
- 100 g mixed salad greens
- 150 g cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 15 g fresh mint leaves
- 1 large lemon
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
Slice the haloumi into 1 cm thick slices and set aside.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, grill the haloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Rinse and pat dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large serving bowl or platter.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Add both to the salad greens.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves. Reserve a few whole leaves for garnish, and sprinkle the rest over the salad.
For the dressing, juice the lemon and whisk it together with olive oil, honey, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
Toss the salad with the dressing to coat evenly.
Arrange the grilled haloumi slices on top of the tossed salad.
Garnish with the reserved mint leaves and serve immediately.
