Warm Halloumi Salad

 

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1 large handful mint, chopped

Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

1 T. olive oil

1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds

5 ounces halloumi cheese, cubed

4 handfuls arugula

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 T. sliced black olives

 

Mix the chili powder, half the mint, the lemon zest and lemon juice, oil, zucchini, and halloumi. Let marinate for 30 minutes. Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Thread the zucchini and halloumi onto the skewers, put the remaining marinade to one side. Grill or broil for 7 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through, and basting with a bit of the remaining marinade. Place the arugula in a bowl with the bell pepper, olives, remaining mint and dress with the last of the marinade.
