Saganaki salad with mint dip
Just when you thought cheese couldn't get any better, it suddenly does and it's called saganaki! Crispy cheese crust on the outside, ooey-gooey melted cheese goodness on the inside. These Greeks know how to live and we sure don't mind getting a taste of it.

Ingredients
- 10 oz. 275 g saganaki cheese or halloumi cheese
Mint dip
- 1 cup 225 ml Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup 60 ml fresh mint, chopped
- 2 tbsp 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and ground black pepper
Serving
- 2 oz. 50 g lettuce
- 1 1 lemon
Instructions
- Combine ingredients for mint dip and set aside while you prepare the rest.
- Put saganaki cheese in a heated nonstick pan, without butter or oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes without touching it. The edges melt fast, which is normal, so apply some pressure with a spatula to even it out before flipping.
- Flip and fry other side for 2-3 minutes, until it gets a nice golden brown color. Gently remove from pan and cut into pieces.
- Serve immediately on a bed of lettuce with lemon slices and mint dip.
