Halloumi Cheese and Sweet Pepper Salad
I am a huge fan of Halloumi Cheese. I love how it is packed with flavour and the fact it has a high melting point which means it is often a favourite of mine when it comes to barbecue season or when I fancy a salad but want a bit of warmth in it. Today I have my friends over for lunch and we all are trying to be healthy so thought I would throw together one of my old time favourites.
Ingredients (Serves three)
1 Block of Halloumi Cheese (Aldi)
Half a pack/full pack rocket, watercress or spinach leaves (Aldi)
Pack of sweet peppers (Aldi)
2 spring onions (Aldi)
Cherry tomatoes (Aldi)
Olive oil (Aldi do a lovely Garlic fused Olive oil but any Olive oil will do)
Lemon (Aldi)
Oregano
Chilli flakes (optional extra)
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
