Halloumi and beetroot salad is a perfect delicious lunch or light dinner option. It’s less than 300 calories and it’s also quick and easy to make.
Mmmmmm, yummy, my other half exclaimed as she handed me back her empty halloumi and beetroot salad lunch plate on Saturday.
That was her seal of approval on this halloumi beetroot salad recipe.
Like a lot of my recipes the inspiration for this one came from a lunch out I had with a friend.
This is a similar combination to that lunch but I decided to add my own take with a reduced calorie / fat dressing in the recipe.
I just LOVE halloumi cheese! Don’t you?
It’s got such a unique texture and taste after grilling.
I mean it can of course be eaten without grilling it, but I recommend doing so.
That’s how I’ve used it in this Halloumi and Beetroot Salad recipe. Grilled and then placed on top of the salad still slightly warm.
Then pour the dressing over and let the flavours mingle in a mouth-watering taste explosion!
The 2 slices of halloumi per serving come in at only around 166 calories and halloumi cheese is a great source of the mineral calcium too.
Beetroot is a so-called “superfood” being associated with helping to lower blood pressure and can improve exercise performance.
