Low Carb Halloumi Salad
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over a low/medium heat. Mince the garlic and add to the pan, sweating gently until tender.
Step 2
Add the cauliflower rice, lemon zest and oregano to the pan with the garlic. Stir well to combine. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes until the cauliflower is tender, then set aside.
Step 3
Heat a griddle pan to high. Slice the halloumi in half lengthwise and arrange on the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden and the cheese is starting to soften.
Step 4
Whilst the cheese is cooking, add the pine nuts to a dry pan over a low heat. Toast gently for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
Step 5
To assemble the salad, roughly chop the lettuce and add to a salad bowl alongside the cauliflower rice.
Step 6
Finely dice the tomatoes and cucumber and scatter over the salad, season all with a little salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Add the cheese and scatter over the pine nuts.
Step 8
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice and scatter with chopped fresh mint to serve.
