ingredients

3 cups mixed greens

2 Persian cucumbers cut into salad size cubes

4 tomatoes cut into eighths (I use heirlooms

1 sprig oregano leaves chopped

1 sprig sage leaves chopped

2 sprigs basil chopped

6 oz pan fried Halloumi cheese* cut into ½ inch cubes

4 oz cooked bacon lardons

Gorgonzola dressing

directions

1. On each plate put down ¼ of the greens, top with the cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs

2. Drizzle the desired amount of dressing over it

3. Top with the halloumi and bacon

*For the Halloumi cheese you can get it in most Middle Eastern/ethnic markets or on line. I like the Halloumi from Greece& Cyprus.

To cook the Halloumi simply pan fry it in a little olive/avocado oil and I like to add 1/2 tsp of lemon juice
