Chopped Halloumi and Vegetable Salad
SERVES: 4
INGREDIENTS
1 (250 gram) package of light Halloumi cheese
2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning (may use dried oregano, parsley, etc)
Cooking spray
3 bell peppers, chopped
1 small cucumber or 1/2 large cucumber, chopped
1 small red onion, sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (mint or parsley would work nice too)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
sea salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
1

Unwrap the cheese and pat it dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, slice the block of cheese into 8-12 slices and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

2

Heat a large skillet with 1-2 teaspoons oil to medium-high heat. Place the Halloumi slices in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. (You may need to divide Halloumi into multiple batches depending on the size of your pan.)

3

Cut or tear the Halloumi slices into bite-size pieces and mix with bell peppers, cucumber, red onion and cilantro.

4

Whisk together Dijon mustard, vinegar, olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Toss vinaigrette with chopped salad and serve.
