Zesty Green Goddess Sandwich with Pan-Seared Halloumi
If you haven't tried pan-searing halloumi yet, this sandwich is the perfect place to start. It gets so beautifully golden and stays nice and firm, which is the perfect match for a creamy, homemade Green Goddess dressing. It’s my absolute favorite lunch when I want something that feels a bit "fancy" but comes together in just a few minutes.

Ingredients
For the Green goddess dressing
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup basil leaves
- ¼ cup parsley
- ¼ cup chives
- 3 Tbsp fresh tarragon
- 1 Tbsp sherry vinegar
- ½ lemon, zested and juiced

Instructions
- Make the Green goddess dressing. Combine ½ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup basil leaves, ¼ cup parsley, ¼ cup chives, 3 Tbsp tarragon, 1 Tbsp sherry vinegar, juice from half a lemon, 2 tsp capers, ½ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with blade attachment. Process until very smooth, then set aside.
- Cook the halloumi. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced halloumi then cook 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate.
- Assemble the sandwich. Spread an even layer of dressing on two slices of bread. Top one piece with sliced avocado, then sprinkle lightly with Kosher salt. Add sliced cucumber, micro greens, seared halloumi, and butter lettuce. Top the sandwich with second slice of bread. Serve immediately!
