Grilled Halloumi with Watercress

This vibrant grilled halloumi with watercress is a masterclass in simplicity, balancing the salty, savoury notes of the Cypriot cheese with the peppery crunch of fresh greens. By charring the halloumi on a hot griddle, you achieve a wonderful golden exterior and a softened centre that contrasts beautifully with the cold, crisp watercress. A sharp dressing of lemon and extra virgin olive oil ties everything together with a bright, citrusy finish.

As a diabetes-friendly dish, this salad is naturally low in carbohydrates while being high in satisfying protein. It makes for an elegant light lunch or a versatile side dish to serve alongside grilled chicken or roasted vegetables. For the best flavour, ensure you serve it while the halloumi is still warm to enjoy its unique, mellow texture at its absolute peak.
