Ingredients
- 200 grams Halloumi cheese
- 150 grams Mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, and lettuce)
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the halloumi cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick grilling pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the halloumi slices in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the halloumi is golden brown and has grill marks. Remove the halloumi from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
While the halloumi is grilling, prepare the salad. Wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into half-moons. Finely slice the red onion. Add these vegetables to the bowl of salad greens.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 7
Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the salad.
Step 8
Top the salad with the grilled halloumi slices.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy grilled halloumi salad.
