250g Cherry tomatoes
1 Onion

Ingredients for the lemon vinaigrette dressing:
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)

1 small garlic clove, minced (optional for extra flavour)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Instructions for the dressing:

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey.
Add in the minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Whisk together until fully emulsified, or close the jar and shake it vigorously.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

Instructions for the dressing:

Fire up your Megamaster gas braai and get ready for a flavour-packed salad.
Slice the onion into rings and halve the cherry tomatoes (if you prefer). Chop the mixed lettuce into smaller pieces if desired.
Brush the halloumi with olive oil for that perfect golden char.
Place the Megamaster Enamel 260 Round Pan on the flames and add the onions and tomatoes. Let them sizzle and caramelise for 5–10 minutes.
Braai the halloumi directly on the grid next to your enamel pan, grilling each side until those irresistible char marks appear.
Toss all the salad ingredients together in the then drizzle with a zesty lemon vinaigrette.
Serve immediately while the halloumi is hot and enjoy the burst of fresh flavours!
