Ingredients

  • 200 g Halloumi
  • 2 Large eggs (hard-boiled)
  • 15 g Parmesan
  • 100 g 0% Greek yogurt
  • 150 g Cucumber, tomato, olives & onion
  • 2 tsp Olive oil, oregano & lemon

Equipment

  • grill pan

Method

  1. Griddle the sliced halloumi until golden on both sides.
  2. Toss the salad vegetables with olive oil, oregano and lemon.
  3. Add the halloumi and quartered eggs; serve the yogurt alongside as a creamy dressing with the parmesan grated over.

Storage & make-ahead

Best assembled fresh. Prep the components up to 2 days ahead, keep chilled, and combine just before eating.

Tip

Halloumi is salty and high in protein but rich, so this is a higher-fat, vegetarian option.

Dietary swaps

Dairy-free: Halloumi → dairy-free cheese; Parmesan → nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan; 0% Greek yogurt → unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt (for lactose intolerance or a dairy-free diet)
