Ingredients
- 8 oz halloumi cheese, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber slices
- ½ cup Kalamata olives
- ½ cup hummus
- ½ cup tzatziki
- 4–6 warm pita breads, cut into wedges
- Fresh parsley or mint, for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add halloumi slices and sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Arrange halloumi in the center of a large serving board.
Surround with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, olives, hummus, and tzatziki in small bowls.
Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the warm halloumi.
Garnish with parsley or mint and serve with warm pita wedges.
Notes
Pat halloumi dry before cooking for a crispier texture.
Serve immediately for best flavor; assemble platter components ahead of time if needed.
Experiment with additions like roasted red peppers, arugula, or pomegranate seeds for extra flair.
Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping halloumi easier.
