Halloumi Sandwich Ingredients
The beautiful thing about this sandwich is that you can add or takeaway any ingredients (apart from the halloumi) to make it your own.
There are only a handful of things you need for this recipe, that you'll most likely find in your fridge or pantry!
- A bread of your choice (I used a thin focaccia)
- Halloumi
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Olives
- Red onion
In addition to the ingredients above, you'll want to make the Talatouri, aka the Cypriot version of Greek Tzatziki! For that, you'll need the following ingredients:
- Plain yoghurt
- Garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Mint
- Lemon
The total time it takes to make this sandwich doesn't exceed 15 minutes. It's honestly so delicious and so simple!

Because there is an abundance of sandwiches on this earth with their own unique fillings, bread type, and condiments. From the Francesinha in Portugal to Vada Pan in India, sandwiches are a way for us to encase flavours that we love in order to enjoy them wherever we may be.
