Description

A delightful spring dish featuring grilled green asparagus and haloumi cheese, complemented by a tangy mustard dressing.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200g green asparagus
  • 150g haloumi cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Trim the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Grill the asparagus for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
  4. Slice the haloumi cheese into thick slices.
  5. Grill the haloumi for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Mix mustard with a little olive oil to make a dressing.
  7. Serve the grilled asparagus and haloumi drizzled with the mustard dressing.

Notes

Haloumi is naturally salty, so be cautious with additional salt. This dish can be served as a light main course by increasing the amount of asparagus. The dressing can be adjusted to taste by adding more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tanginess.
