Ingredients
  

  • - Halloumi cheese: 8 oz 227g
  • - Ripe mango: 1 large approximately 450g
  • - Fresh mint leaves: ¼ cup 10g
  • - Cherry tomatoes: ½ cup 75g
  • - Red onion: ½ small about 50g
  • - Fresh lime: 1 approximately 50g
  • - Olive oil: 2 tbsp 30ml
  • - Salt: ½ tsp 2.5g
  • - Black pepper: ¼ tsp 0.5g
  • - Red chili flakes optional: ¼ tsp (0.5g)
  • - Arugula or mixed salad greens: 2 cups 40g

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your Grilled Halloumi with Mango Salad ingredients. Slice the halloumi into ½ inch (1.3cm) thick slices.
  2. Peel and dice the mango into ½ inch (1.3cm) cubes.
  3. Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to make a dressing.
  5. Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium heat.
  6. Once hot, grill the halloumi slices for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they have golden-brown grill marks.
  7. In a large salad bowl, combine the diced mango, sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and mint leaves.
  8. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to mix.
  9. Plate the salad greens first, then top with the mango salad mixture.
  10. 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!
