Are you tired most days after work and just want to make something quick and easy for dinner? Join the club! Many of us succumb to our tiredness and end up getting takeaways that are unhealthy and often leave us feeling even more tired and bloated. But making dinner as opposed to getting takeout doesn’t mean you have to spend hours in the kitchen and cook a large meal. Simple, light meals will hit the spot just as much and leave you feeling full and satisfied.

HAT - Bruschetta with Halloumi, Avocado, and Tomato
INGREDIENTS:
4 ciabatta rolls or 1 loaf ciabatta bread
3 tomatoes
2 avocadoes
1 block halloumi cheese
Butter or margarine to spread
Cracked black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut ciabatta rolls in half or loaf of bread into slices and spread with butter or margarine. Cut halloumi into thick slices. Take avocado out of its skin and mash with a fork. Slice tomatoes.
Place ciabatta bread in oven and grill or bake until crisp or desired texture. Fry halloumi pieces on low to medium heat until lightly browned, turning halfway so both sides are cooked. When the bread is finished cooking place pieces on a plate and spread with mashed avocado. Top with sliced tomatoes and finally halloumi cheese. Add cracked black pepper to taste. Enjoy! Serves 4.

This looks amazing!
Thanks for the comments! Yeah the HAT recipe is so easy and so delicious. Let me know what you think if you decide to give any of them a try!
Nice, I'm a vegetarian. I find it easier to eat vegetarian as both my daughters are vegetarians too, we eat a lot of raw foods, nuts, veggies and fruit. Great recipe ideas for a nice vegetarian meal. I will be taking advantage of these. Thanks :)K
