    Grilled Fennel Salad with Halloumi

    Gluten FreeNut FreeEgg FreeLow CarbVegetarianKeto

    This grilled fennel salad with halloumi is topped with a creamy sour cream dressing and a sprinkle of sumac and mint leaves. A hearty salad best served warm.

    The slight aniseed flavour of fennel goes very well with the creamy saltiness of halloumi cheese. The dressing for this keto vegetarian salad is a creamy mixture of sour cream, lemon and garlic. Sumac and mint are the final seasonings to pull the dish together.

    Is fennel low carb?

    The bulbous fennel is an unique tasting vegetable. With it's slight aniseed flavour, it's great grilled, raw or baked. At 3.7g net carbs per 100g serving, it is a great low carb vegetable too!

    Making a grilled fennel salad

    This warm salad is simple and quick to make. I made mine on a griddle pan but this could easily be made on the BBQ too.

    Slices of fennel and halloumi cheese are grilled then layered. A sour cream dressing is spooned on top then seasoned. I've used sumac for the seasoning as it's lemony taste goes great with fennel and halloumi.

    Recipe Tips & Suggestions

    The fennel could be roasted in place of grilling for a richer flavour.

    Serve the fennel raw for extra crunch. Finely slice the fennel and place in a large bowl of iced water for 10 minutes to help keep it crisp.

    If you don't have halloumi cheese try paneer, queso fresco or feta cheese.

    Set the fennel fronds aside for a garnish in place of the mint.
