Instructions
- Start by preparing your Grilled Halloumi with Mango Salad ingredients. Slice the halloumi into ½ inch (1.3cm) thick slices.
- Peel and dice the mango into ½ inch (1.3cm) cubes.
- Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to make a dressing.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium heat.
- Once hot, grill the halloumi slices for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they have golden-brown grill marks.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the diced mango, sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and mint leaves.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to mix.
- Plate the salad greens first, then top with the mango salad mixture.
- Finally, place the grilled halloumi slices on top.
Notes
1. Avoid overcooking the halloumi; it can become too rubbery. Aim for a nice, golden sear.
2. If mangoes aren't in season, you can use ripe peaches or nectarines as a substitute.
3. For an added crunch, consider adding some toasted nuts or seeds to the salad.
4. Always use fresh lime juice over bottled; the difference in taste is undeniable!
