The method

Step by step

1
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the grill is hot enough to get good grill marks on the halloumi.
2
Place the halloumi slices directly on the preheated grill.
3
Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown with visible grill marks.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Watch carefully to prevent burning, as halloumi cooks quickly.
4
While the halloumi cooks, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
About 2 min
5
In a large salad bowl, combine the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, diced bell pepper, and mixed greens.
About 5 min
6
Once grilled, remove the halloumi from the heat and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
About 1 min
7
Add the warm, cut halloumi to the salad bowl with the vegetables.
8
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients.
9
Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
