Ingredients

  • 200g halloumi cheese
  • 4 cups arugula (rocket)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  3. 3

    Brush the halloumi slices with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Place the halloumi slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and grill marks appear.

  5. 5

    While the halloumi is grilling, prepare the salad base by placing arugula and halved cherry tomatoes in a large bowl.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, balsamic glaze, and lemon juice if using. Pour the dressing over the arugula and tomatoes, tossing gently to combine.

  7. 7

    Once the halloumi is grilled and warm, remove it from the grill and slice if desired.

  8. 8

    Serve the grilled halloumi on top of the arugula salad, drizzling with extra balsamic glaze if desired, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
