Description
A fast, flavorful upgrade on the classic Caesar Salad featuring grilled halloumi, crisp romaine, and juicy cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g halloumi cheese
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup croutons
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Slice the halloumi cheese into thick slices. Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the romaine if you haven’t already. Have the croutons and dressing ready.
- Drizzle olive oil on the halloumi slices and season lightly with salt and pepper. Let the slices sit a minute to soak in the oil.
- Grill the halloumi for about 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and croutons. Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss to combine. Serve topped with grilled halloumi and optional grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Store components separately for best texture. Grilled halloumi lasts up to 2 days in the fridge. Toss salad right before serving.
