What’s Inside This Bowl?

Let’s break down the components that make this bowl both satisfying and delicious:

Halloumi Cheese

Golden and crisp on the outside, soft and salty on the inside—fried halloumi brings a rich, savoury chew and a satisfying depth to the bowl. It's a great source of calcium and protein.

Soft-Boiled Egg

Adding extra protein and creaminess, boiled egg brings balance to the saltiness of the halloumi and feta while boosting satiety.

Lettuce

A fresh, crunchy base that keeps things light. Feel free to mix baby greens, romaine, or arugula for variety.

Cooked Beets

Earthy, subtly sweet, and packed with antioxidants, beets bring colour, fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and potassium.

Avocado

Creamy, rich in heart-healthy fats, and full of potassium—avocado ties everything together and adds luxurious texture.

Chickpeas

Pan-fried or oven-roasted chickpeas bring protein, fiber, and a crispy bite that makes this bowl even more satisfying.

Feta Cheese

Briny, crumbly, and sharp—feta amplifies the Mediterranean flavour profile and pairs beautifully with the olives and lemon dressing.

Olives

A burst of salty, umami goodness in every bite. Use Kalamata or green olives, depending on your preference.

A simple and bright garlic-lemon dressing lifts the entire bowl with a zesty, garlicky punch that’s hard to resist.

This Halloumi Bowl with Boiled Egg, Chickpeas & Lemon Garlic Dressing is more than just a pretty plate — it’s a deeply satisfying, nutrient-dense meal you’ll crave again and again. Whether you're following a vegetarian lifestyle, looking for a post-workout recharge, or just love bold Mediterranean flavours, this bowl delivers every time.
