How to Make Halloumi Cheese Kebabs
- Cut the halloumi into 1-inch thick slices.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Add the halloumi slices to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly charred.
- While the halloumi grills, warm the pitta breads according to the package instructions. You can grill them briefly for extra flavor.
- Slice the top edge of each pitta bread to create a pocket.
- Fill each pitta with a mix of your favorite salad greens, 1/2 cucumber sliced, 1/2 tomato sliced, and 1/4 red pepper sliced.
- Add the grilled halloumi cheese to the pitta pockets, layering with more salad if desired.
- Drizzle extra marinade or a simple vinaigrette over the finished kebabs before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
