Ingredients
- Zucchini: 1 medium about 150g
- Red bell pepper: 1 large about 150g
- Yellow bell pepper: 1 large about 150g
- Red onion: 1 small about 100g
- Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup about 150g
- Halloumi cheese: 200g 7 oz.
- Olive oil: 3 tbsp 45 ml
- Fresh basil leaves: 1/4 cup 15g
- Salt: To taste
- Black pepper: To taste
- Lemon juice: 2 tbsp 30 ml
- Mixed salad greens: 2 cups about 100g
Instructions
- Begin by prepping your vegetables. Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into quarters, removing the seeds. Peel and cut the red onion into 1/2-inch rings.
- Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tbsp of olive oil, ensuring they're lightly coated on both sides. Season them with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the halloumi cheese slices onto the grill, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they have visible grill marks and are slightly crispy.
- Next, grill the vegetables. They'll need about 3-4 minutes on each side. Keep a close watch on them, ensuring they don't burn but have a nice char.
- While the vegetables are grilling, whisk together the remaining olive oil with lemon juice in a bowl. This will serve as a dressing.
- Once your grilled vegetables and halloumi are ready, arrange them on a plate.
- Toss the mixed salad greens with the dressing, and then add them to the plate.
- Finish by sprinkling the salad with fresh basil leaves and the cherry tomatoes.
