Grilled Halloumi & Quinoa Salad

Golden seared halloumi over lemony quinoa with rocket, mint, and pomegranate seeds — a vegetarian salad with genuine bite. Fat-leaning from the cheese with moderate carbs, it fits a maintenance or lower-carb lunch better than a strict cutting phase.

Ingredients

• 80g halloumi, sliced
• 1/3 cup cooked quinoa
• 2 cups rocket
• 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
• 6 mint leaves, torn
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Sear the halloumi slices in a dry pan until deeply golden.
2. Toss the quinoa, rocket, mint, and pomegranate with lemon and olive oil.
3. Top the salad with the warm halloumi.
4. Serve immediately while the cheese is soft.
