Grilled Halloumi Salad
Halloumi is a delicious cheese that makes a wonderful topping for any salad.
Ingredients
- Halloumi Cheese (Sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices)
- Olive Oil (For brushing and drizzling)
- Lettuce and Salad Greens
- Vegetables (Tomatoes, Carrots, Cucumber whatever you prefer.)
- Lemons (For squezing)
- Warm pita bread
Instructions
- 1. Remove Halloumi from the package and cut it into thick slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- 2. Prepare plates or bowls with mixed salad greens and vegetables to form a bed for the cheese.
- 3. Heat the grill pan or indoor or outdoor grill on medium heat.
- 4. Lightly brush the Halloumi slices with olive oil on both sides.
- 5. Place pieces of cheese on a hot grill pan or grill and cook on the first side until the cheese begins to soften and the outer side forms a crispy crust, about 2 minutes. Then flip the cheese and grill the other side. Do not overcook- just get the outside crispy.
- 6. Immediately place the grilled Halloumi on top of the salad beds and squeeze 1/2 fresh lemon over the grilled cheese and salad then sprinkle with olive oil.
Notes
Serve with warm pita bread for a healthy and hearty meal.
