I added chicken and baby peppers to make grilled halloumi salad a low-carb main dish, but skip that and make four side salads if you prefer. However you make it, it’s the halloumi and citrusy lemon sauce that makes this salad so impressive!

Grilled Halloumi Salad PIN To Try Later!

I have always been passionate about trying new foods, and years ago I heard about halloumi cheese, and I was keen to taste this salty cheese that can be grilled or fried. At first I couldn’t find halloumi, but one day I was walking into my favorite grocery store in my neighborhood and saw some halloumi in the cheese box, and I enjoyed trying it with my friends. Of course I’m now a longtime halloumi fan, and halloumi is widely available, so I’m updating the pictures for this Grilled Halloumi Salad To encourage you to give it a try if you’ve never cooked with halloumi!

This is a simple salad I made with halloumi, leftover grilled chicken, and some small sweet pepper slices, but the grilled halloumi is so amazing that it makes this truly unforgettable dish perfect for a light summer dinner. I hope you give it a try and enjoy my sweets as much as I do! Personally, I think grilled halloumi cheese is a flavor adventure that will change your life!

What is halloumi cheese?

halloumi It is a unique cheese from Cyprus that has a high melting point that allows it to be fried or grilled. The brown cheese is delicious, and although halloumi is a bit pricey, it’s something I like to buy for a treat. over here More about halloumi cheese and how to make it.

What kind of green salad can you use?

I used my favorite Power Greens Mix to make this salad, but you can use any greens or combination of greens you prefer.

What can you use if you don’t like Sweet Mini Peppers?

If you don’t like sweet little peppers or don’t want to buy them for your salad, you can use cherry tomatoes, peas, olives, cucumbers, radishes, or any other vegetable that fascinates you instead of a little pepper!

What if you don’t have an outdoor grill?

I grilled halloumi on my own Grill pan on stove (referral link) a few times and I encourage you to try this if you don’t have an outdoor grill. And in fact I thought it was a little easier on the grill pan on the stove!

Low Carb Diet / Low Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:

Halloumi has 8 grams of fat per ounce, so this is likely an “occasional treat” for the original South Beach diet, but halloumi is a treat that shouldn’t be missed on occasion.
