With Honey Mustard Dressing!

My savoury tastebuds get tingling & super excited with Gourmet Dishes that use Cheese! Especially when Im in a cooking mood at home! Today I made this brilliant grilled Halloumi Cheese salad, with a mustard dressing.

Cooking with Haloumi is the most satisfying feeling! The sizzling sound… the sight.. the texture while turning the cheese in the pan. And finally biting into that squeaky Cheese… Oooo… 😋🤩

Grilled Halloumi Salad is a brilliant salad that goes on a side of any Rice main course. It can work as a starter dish on its own as well!!

Here is the Recipe!

Ingredients
Rommaine lettuce, or any lettuce other than iceberg lettuce
Mustard Sauce
Olive
Extra virgin Olive oil
Lemon
Salt & Pepper
Balsamic Vinegar (Optional)
Honey

Method
1) Make the dressing: Mix together Mustard Sauce, Salt, pepper, honey, lemon (add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick… you should be able to drizzle it.)

2) Tear the lettuce leaves and layer them on a plate. On each layer drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and the mustard dressing.

3) Place a pan on high, add extra virgin olive oil. Once you see a slight smoke, lower the heat to medium & grill the halloumi cheese slices, till golden brown. It takes a few seconds usually if the pan is hot. So as soon as you place the cheese, in a few seconds check if its carmelized.

TIP: High flame is needed so that the Cheese gets Golden without leaching out the moisture.

4) Gently place the Hallomi Cheese from the pan on to the lettuce leaves. Drizzle a dash of balsamic vinegar or glaze on top. (if you dont have balsamic… serve as it is!)

Enjoy!
