Mixed bean salad and grilled Halloumi cheese

Halloumi is a Greek cheese that retains its shape when grilled or cooked. It is a delicious addition to vegetarian meals. It’s worth to add that Halloumi has a slightly salty taste so use salt sparingly in dishes that include this cheese.

Ingredients

1 can beans (mixed beans, 14 oz can)
1⁄2 cup coriander (fresh, chopped)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tomato (diced)
1 onion (red, small, sliced thin)
  seasoning (salt and pepper to taste)
1⁄2 pound cheese (Halloumi cheese, in a chunk or four thick slices)
1⁄2 cup corn (sweet corn kernels, cooked or canned and drained)

Instructions

Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl, cover and set in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes for the flavors to absorb.

Take a chunk of Halloumi cheese and cut 4 thick slices.

Place on a lightly oiled non-stick baking tray and under a hot grill for approximately 2 minutes, turn over and grill on the other side for a further 2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Divide the bean salad between 4 plates and top each plate with a Halloumi cheese slice and serve.
