Haloumi, Zucchini & Avocado Summer Salad

This salad here was the remnants of my pretty-bare fridge a while ago and since then I've never looked back! It's so summery, and light, but packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre so it'll be keeping you full and satisfied way past 3pm.

The haloumi provides a serve of dairy and good boost of protein and calcium while the tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant. Add the avocado in for a dose of healthy mono- and poly-unsaturated fats and you're done! Healthy, Summery, delicious and easy. What more could you want?!

I usually have the below as a single serve for lunch :)

Ingredients

1 small zucchini, cut into wedges

6 cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tbs (or so) chopped parsley

40g haloumi, sliced

1/4 avocado, diced

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp red wine vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

Method

Heat a non-stick frypan on medium and add zucchini wedges, frying until golden then turning to repeat on each side.

In the last two minutes of cooking, make room in the pan for your haloumi. Cook for about a minute or two on each side until golden. Remove from heat.

Place zucchini, haloumi, cherry tomatoes, avocado and parsley into a bowl.

In another little bowl, combine vinegar, oil, salt and pepper then pour over salad.

Enjoy warm!
