]]>Here’s how to perfect the art of creating the perfect halloumi burger.
Chop up some red onion into long strips—or so that it falls into its circular layers. Slice a tomato lengthways with cucumber and lettuce. Mix in extra virgin olive oil.
Buy a slab of supermarket halloumi and fire up the barbeque or heat a pan with olive oil. Cut the halloumi into thick slices. If the slices are too thin, they will burn and lose that beautiful flavor. You want the outside to be crispy and flavorful, while the inside is moist and rubbery.
Once the halloumi has been nicely cooked, it’s time to toast your bun. Take a brioche bun and cut it in half. Then, place both halves onto the barbeque or under the grill. You want both sides to be nicely toasted. Ideally, the top of the brioche bun will have a little chargrilled mark.
Put some salsa on the bottom of the bun before putting in the halloumi, the red onion, the lettuce, the cucumber. Top with some sweet chili sauce and a little dollop of hummus.

]]>Here is a winning combination of vegetables and how to roast them.
First, you’re going to need peppers. These can be red, green or yellow depending on your color scheme. Given the combination we’re going for today, red peppers or yellow peppers are probably the best option.
The best way to roast garlic is to roast the whole clove. A perfectly roasted garlic clove should be browned on the outside and slightly juicy on the inside. This offsets the freshness of the pepper.
You want your red onion cut into large slices so it can be chargrilled on the outside but retain moisture on the inside. This will hold lots of flavor and combine deliciously with the peppers and garlic.
Cut your zucchinis into fairly thick slices so that they can stay juicy and succulent. The green of the zucchini contrasts nicely with the red of the onion, white of the garlic and the red or yellow of the peppers.

]]>Eating one sweet potato will give you one full serving of vegetables for the day, as well as filling you up with no more than 150 calories and a ton of vitamin A. Here are some fun toppings for you to try out on your sweet potato toasts!
Mix the sweetness of the sweet potato with savory tahini sauce. Mix tahini with water, garlic, and lemon juice and pour over the toast. Add slices of cucumber and you’re set!
Take your avocado toast to the next level by putting it on a sweet potato toast! Add chia seeds, tomato, and a squeeze of lime and enjoy.
Sweeten things up even more by adding some yogurt to your blueberries! Drizzle some honey over the top, along with slivered almonds and the fruit of your choice and you have a balanced breakfast.

]]>The post These Tex-Mex Chickpea Fajitas Are So Yummy! appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
]]>This recipe is really flexible because you can add whatever toppings you like to it. But, the base for this recipe are roasted chickpeas. Cover your chickpeas in olive oil, salt, and smokey paprika, and bake at 400 F for about 25 minutes until they are nice and crispy.
While the chickpeas are cooking you can saute some peppers, or simply chop up tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers, or whatever you have on hand. If you’re using fresh vegetables, mix them with a little vinegar and salt to make a nice crispy topping for the fajitas. To assemble, put the tortillas in a pan to crisp them up a bit or right onto a grill pan. Put down the sour cream if you want to use it, then the chickpeas, followed by the vegetables and top with cheese if you like or leave plain.

]]>Fret not! There are still many ways for you to get in protein quickly by following these simple tips and recipes.
Eating an egg is a great source of protein, and if you hard boil them, you don’t have to add any fat or oil to cook them. Boil as many as you want at a time and keep them in your refrigerator, so you can quickly pull them out and peel them whenever you need a quick boost.
Hummus is made of chickpeas and tahini, which are both sources of plant-based protein. Spread a couple tablespoons on some rice cakes, much of which only has 30 calories per cake, and you have a low calorie but incredibly high protein snack!
Flax seeds are a great source of plant-based protein, as long as you grind them up so they are easier to digest. Sprinkle some on top of a banana, your favorite toast, or really just about anything to transform it into a protein-packed snack.
