Grilled Halloumi, Pepper and Lentil Salad

Ingredients

  • ½ red pepper, deseeded and quartered
  • 1½ tsp olive oil
  • 80g halloumi
  • 70g cooked lentils
  • 60g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • 1 small bunch parsley, chopped
  • 1 pinch chilli flakes
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • 1 handful rocket or watercress

Method

Preheat a griddle pan over a high heat. Brush the peppers with a little oil, lay on the griddle and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and roughly chop.

Brush the halloumi with the remaining oil and grill for 1-2 minutes on each side. Meanwhile combine the peppers with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. Serve the halloumi with the salad.

Tips

This recipe uses ready-cooked lentils for ease and speed, but you can cook your own if you’d prefer using one-third the amount of lentils. Pour the uncooked lentils into a pan of water, bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes or according to packet instructions.
