Keto Marinated Artichoke Salad with Grilled Halloumi

Ingredients

• 1 14 oz can Artichoke Hearts
• 8 oz Halloumi Cheese
• 5 oz Arugula
• 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives
• 1/4 medium Red Onion
• 1/4 cup Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 tbsp Fresh Mint
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of Olive Oil, 2 tablespoons of Lemon Juice, 1 teaspoon of Dried Oregano, 1 tablespoon of Fresh Mint, 1/4 teaspoon of Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of Black Pepper until well combined.
2. 2Drain the 1 14 oz can of Artichoke Hearts and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Thinly slice the 1/4 medium Red Onion and add it along with the 1/2 cup of Kalamata Olives. Gently toss all ingredients until they are evenly coated in the dressing.
3. 3Allow the artichoke mixture to marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. 4While the artichoke mixture marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F / 190-205°C). Slice the 8 oz of Halloumi Cheese into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
5. 5Place the 1/4-inch thick slices of Halloumi Cheese directly on the preheated grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the cheese develops golden-brown grill marks and becomes slightly softened and warm throughout.
6. 6On a large serving platter, arrange the 5 oz of Arugula evenly. Spoon the marinated artichoke heart mixture over the arugula, then carefully place the grilled Halloumi Cheese slices on top. Serve the salad immediately.
