Ingredients
  • 200 g Halloumi Cheese
  • 2 Bell Peppers (various colors)
  • 1 Zucchini
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 200 g Cherry Tomatoes
  • 150 g Mixed Salad Greens
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Black Pepper

Preparation of Vegetables

Wash and chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Grilling the Vegetables

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Toss the chopped vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and tender. Remove from grill and set aside.

Grilling the Halloumi

Slice the halloumi cheese into approximately 1cm thick pieces. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Grill the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become rubbery.

Dressing Preparation

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

Assembling the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and the grilled vegetables. Add the grilled halloumi on top. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Serve immediately while the halloumi and vegetables are still warm.

FAQ

  • Can I use other vegetables?

    Yes, feel free to use other vegetables such as eggplant, asparagus, or mushrooms. Adjust grilling time accordingly.
  • Can I prepare this salad in advance?

    It's best to serve this salad immediately after grilling the halloumi and vegetables. However, you can prepare the vegetables and dressing in advance and store them separately. Grill the halloumi just before serving.
  • What if I don't have a grill?

    You can also use a grill pan or roast the vegetables and halloumi in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
