Total Time 15 minutes
Choose Serving Size 2 servings

Ingredients 

  • 200 g 7 oz halloumi cheese
  • 2 tsp za'atar
  • 4 generous hands of mixed salad leaves
  • a few basil leaves
  • 2 Tbsp seed mix sunflower, flax, sesame, pumpkin, chia
  • 10 olives seedless
  • 10 cherry tomatoes cut into halves or in 4
  • 1 avocado peeled and sliced
  • 2 cucumbers peeled and sliced
  • 4 sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, cut into small pieces
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • juice from 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Because I made two portions, I divided the quantities into 2 bowls right from the start.
  • Cut the salad and basil leaves and put them in the bowls. Add half of the quantities for the tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, seeds, and avocado into each bowl.
  • Add half of the olive oil and lemon juice quantity into each bowl.
  • Slice the halloumi cheese - I used 4 slices per portion.
  • Grease a pan with a little olive oil and put it on medium heat.
  • Add za'atar on each halloumi slice (on both sides) and fry them in the pan - around 2 minutes for each side.
  • Serve the halloumi slices on top of the salad.
