This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in less than an hour with just a handful of ingredients. Halloumi is wonderful when grilled because it has such a high melting point that it gets gorgeously golden without falling apart. I love pairing it with fennel, which is packed with fiber and antioxidants that are great for digestion. The best part? Everything here is affordable and probably already in your kitchen. A squeeze of fresh lemon and some bright mint at the end makes it feel special without any fussy techniques.
