So, yesterday's attempt to stick to a low carb/high protein diet was a disaster. Looking after my godchildren and cooking them dinner, suddenly I found myself inhaling their toasted cheese pitta and baked beans. One minute, it was on the plate, the next it had disappeared.
Anyway, today I'm back on the case with this fresh, citrus salad.
Ingredients
1tsp pine nuts
4 thin slices of halloumi cheese
2 chopped tomatoes
1/4 avocado
Fresh salad leaves
1/2 ruby red grapefruit
Fresh mint leaves
Lemon Juice to dress
Toast the pine nuts in a heated, non-stick pan until browned. Remove and then add the halloumi, turning once browned. Add to a bowl of fresh salad leaves, chopped avocado, tomatoes, grapefruit and mint. Dress with lemon juice. Yum!
Be aware though that if you have a lot of weight to lose, you might be better off replacing the cheese with a pancetta or lean smoky ham.
