👩‍🍳 How to Make a Grilled Halloumi Greek Plate

Step 1: Prep the Cheese

Slice your halloumi into even pieces and brush lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Grill to Perfection

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill each side for 2–3 minutes until golden and lightly charred.

Step 3: Mix the Greek Salad

In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and olives. Add olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve

Plate the salad, top with warm grilled halloumi, drizzle with lemon juice, and finish with a splash of olive oil.
Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and soft.

🍋 Chef’s Twist

Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a sprinkle of fresh mint to elevate the dish.
For a heartier version, serve your Grilled Halloumi Greek Plate with cauliflower rice, roasted eggplant, or tzatziki sauce.
