Haloumi With Salad & Garlic Bread

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Heat the grill to high.

Step 2: Cut the tomatoes and cucumber into bite-sized chunks and place in a serving dish with the arugula and olives. Mix well.

Step 3: Slice the bred into eight 3/4 inch slices, drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Grill until lightly golden, then rub each slice thoroughly with a cut side of the garlic. Wrap loosely in foil and keep warm in the oven.

Step 5: Cut the Haloumi into 8 slices. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a shallow frying pan and fry the haloumi slices for 1-2 minutes per side, until crisp and golden brown.

Note: I've found it better to dip the haloumi slices LIGHTLY in flour before frying.

Step 6: Whisk together the lemon juice, oregano, and remaining olive oil to use as a dressing. Season to taste.

Step 7: Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss well. Arrange the ahloumi on top and drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately with the warm garlic bread.
