Ingredients

  • ½ large shallot minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium Lemon juiced & zest
  • 6 tbs olive oil divided (¼ c + 2 tbsp)
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 16 ounces Halloumi Cheese
  • 2 large green/yellow zucchini
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 5 cups cooked orzo
  • 1 ½ cup frozen peas thawed
  • 3 Scallions thinly sliced (green part only)
  • 5 red radish thinly sliced
  • 6-8 basil leaves julienne

Instructions

  • Place shallot, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Slowly stream in the olive oil and whisk until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir the orzo pasta, peas, scallions, radishes, and basil. Stir in all of the dressing but reserve 3 tablespoons on the side as a finishing sauce. Set orzo salad aside.
  • Skewer the kabobs by threading Halloumi, yellow zucchini, bell pepper, green zucchini, and Halloumi in that order. Skewer the Halloumi slowly to prevent splitting. Baste the skewers with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt & pepper to taste.
  • Preheat a BBQ grill on medium heat. Grill the kabobs about 3-5 minutes per side until grill marks appear. Remove kabobs from the grill and set aside.
  • Prepare the meal prep containers by spooning approximately 1 ½ cups of the orzo salad into the bottom, then top with two of the kabobs. Drizzle a spoonful of the remaining dressing over the kabobs and top with lemon zest.
