Instructions
- First, prepare all ingredients as outlined above and create the salad dressing by mixing all ingredients together until combined.
- Brush a little olive oil onto a griddle pan and place over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Add a little more oil to the pan if needed and then add the sliced courgette, Cook for around 30 seconds before turning and cooking on the other side. Work in batches if needed so you don’t overlap the pieces
- Add the onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Mix together the courgette, cherry tomatoes, olives and onion in a bowl with the lettuce and tear in the basil. Season well and toss through the dressing. Serve with the halloumi slices on top.
Notes
- You can use a standard frying pan/skillet rather than the griddle pan
