Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 2 handfuls mixed salad greens
  • 1 Tb capers, drained
  • 1 medium heirloom tomato, cut in cubes you can also add a variety of colors of by using a little bit of each varied tomato color!
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced and divided in two portions
  • drizzle olive oil
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 8 oz package Halloumi cheese

Instructions
 

  • Start by opening the cheese carefully - it is packaged with extra brine to keep the moisture in. Open over the sink or a paper towel lined plate.
  • Slice into the desired size. Be aware, though, that the way it’s made it will most likely slightly separate in the middle.
  • Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and put pieces of halloumi on it. Make sure it’s not crowded!
  • Let cook - without stirring or moving - until you see it release a liquid. At this point you can move it around and the liquid will evaporate eventually.
  • It should take about 5-7 minutes to get one side browned, but check frequently and when it’s reached the desired color - flip upside down.
  • Meanwhile, mix greens with capers in a bowl. Divide the greens between two plates.
  • Top the greens with sliced avocado and tomatoes, leaving enough room for Halloumi. Drizzle with olive oil.
  • Transfer halloumi to the plate and sprinkle the salad with freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
