Easy salad that combines a lot of great Mediterranean flavors and textures!

The fresh Herbs make such a difference to the flavor, but if you cant find them just use dried Oregano.

Make the Dressing by whisking all the ingredients together. Set aside.
Halve the Olives & Cherry Tomatoes then either grate or spiralize the Cucumbers.
Slice the Halloumi Cheese.
Pick the Oregano leaves off the stems and tear up the Mint leaves.
Heat a grill pan to a medium high heat.
Right before you are ready to serve grill the Halloumi slices until you can see a golden color on the Cheese.
Pile the Cucumber, Olives, Tomatoes, Mint & Oregano leaves on top of the grilled Cheese. Serve with the Dressing on the side.
