Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Tear pita into rough 1-inch pieces. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, then toast pita pieces, tossing occasionally, until golden and crispy, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Pat halloumi dry. Slice into 0.5-inch-thick planks. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high and sear halloumi 2–3 minutes per side until golden and slightly softened.

  3. Step 3

    Toss greens, sliced cucumber, and tomatoes in a bowl with the lemon juice, lemon zest, remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Divide greens between two plates. Top with warm halloumi and crispy pita chips. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge.
