Green Giant product(s) used: Green Giant® Cut Italian Beans

Lists of ingredients:

  • 4 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced into ¼-inch thick slices
    1 can (14.5 ounces) Green Giant® Cut Italian Beans, drained
    1 cup peeled and thinly sliced cucumber
    ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
    1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
    ¼ cup chopped kalamata olives
    2 Tablespoons capers

    For dressing:
    ¼ cup olive oil
    2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    4-5 fresh basil leaves
    1 clove garlic
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon black pepper

STEPS

1 Heat a grill pan over medium heat for 2 minutes and lightly grease with cooking oil. Once pan is hot, add cheese and grill for 2 minutes on each side. Set aside on a plate.
2 Combine ingredients for dressing in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
3 In a mixing bowl, combine beans, cucumber, tomatoes, shallot, olives, and capers. Drizzle with dressing and stir to coat.
4 Transfer to a serving plate and top with slices of grilled halloumi.

TIPS & TRICKS

Halloumi cheese is an excellent choice for grilling in this green bean salad recipe because of the way it stays warm and soft on the inside, as it gets crunchy golden on the outside.

Halloumi cheese is often thought to fall between mozzarella and feta in terms of taste, and its texture complements the fresh flavors in this green bean “grilled cheese” salad.
