Equipment
- Non Stick Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce package Halloumi cheese
- 4 flatbreads or pitas
Tzatzki Sauce
- 2 6-inch cucumbers, peeled, seeded and finely diced
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped mint
- 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
Tomato Cucumber Salad
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped, seeded peeled cucumber
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
Instructions
- Make the Tzatziki sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, mint, cucumber, salt and pepper. Taste and set aside.
- Make the tomato salad by combining the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and parsley. Taste, adjust, adding salt as needed. I usually add a small amount, knowing that the tzatziki and halloumi are also salty!
- Slice the halloumi into ½-inch thick slices. Heat a cast-iron or non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Add the halloumi slices to the pan and cook for 1 - 2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 1 - 2 minutes.
- Assemble! Warm the flatbread over a dry skillet or microwave for about 30-60 seconds until just softened, then kayer with a generous smear on tzatiziki sauce, pan fried halloumi, and tomato cucumber salad. Enjoy immedietly!
