- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Lemon

Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices.
3. Lightly brush each slice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Place the halloumi slices onto the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they have nice grill marks and are golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. While the halloumi is grilling, prepare the salad. In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed salad greens.
6. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
7. Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly. Add slices to the salad greens.
8. Slice the red onion thinly, preferably using a mandoline for even slices, and add to the bowl.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lemon, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
10. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
11. Tear the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle over the salad.
12. Top the salad with the grilled halloumi slices and serve immediately.
