Seared Halloumi with Tomato and Fresh Herbs

Step 1

Start fresh herb topping: In a small bowl, combine parsley, mint, scallion, capers, lemon zest, and pepper. Set aside (see note 1).

Step 2

Sear halloumi: Heat grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, arrange cheese slices in a single layer (see note 2). Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Assemble: Layer the seared halloumi and tomatoes on a serving platter. Stir lemon juice and olive oil into the herb topping, then spoon topping over the halloumi and tomatoes. Serve with cooked grains, if using.
