Ingredients

2 pita bread
200 g halloumi cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 lemon, juice of
100 g salad leaves, of your choice
1/2 small cucumber, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced into rings (if small enough)
1 red onion, sliced into rings
25 ml tahini, for dressing (you might want to use salad cream, mayo, chilli sauce etc)

Steps:

Cut the halloumi into thick slices (about 1/4 inch).
Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and pepper.
Leave the Halloumi in the mixture for half an hour.
Place the Halloumi on a red hot griddle pan and cook until nicely coloured, turn it over and repeat (depending on heat of pan will only take a few minutes each side so don't leave it).
Warm the pitta breads under the grill (in the oven, in a toaster) following manufacturers instructions.
Slice the top edge of the pitta off (much easier than trying to slice down into it)
put in a little salad, some slices of cucumber, tomato and red peppers.
Add the cheese and some more salad building up until its nice and full.
Serve with the dressing on one side or you could add it as you are building it up.
