Here's a recipe I absolutely love making when I want something impressive yet simple. Grilled halloumi with carrot salad comes together in under an hour and costs just a few pounds to feed four people. The halloumi gets beautifully golden and squeaky when it hits the grill, while the fresh carrots provide wonderful natural sweetness and are packed with beta carotene for healthy eyes and skin. The bright mint and lemon juice make everything taste vibrant and summery. This is my go to dish when friends pop round because it feels special without requiring any fussy techniques.
