Grilled Halloumi Cheese & Tomato Salad
Grilled Halloumi Cheese & Tomato Salad is insanely delicious, outrageously mouthwatering, and will be your new favorite food! Grilled Halloumi has a strong savory and salty flavor that is slightly creamy and incredibly addictive. Paired with my simple Tomato and Basil salad, each bite is simply heaven. #grilling #grillrecipes #summerfood #salad #halloumi #tomatoes #healthyrecipes
Ingredients
- 8 oz Halloumi Cheese
- 8 oz Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
- 5 Leaves Basil
- 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
- Pinch Salt, to taste
- Pinch Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prep-Ahead
-
Slice the Halloumi Cheese lengthwise. You should get 8 slices out of the block giving you 2 slices per person.
-
Slice the cleaned tomatoes in half where the stem was. Pile the basil leaves and then cut into strips (this is called a chiffonade).
-
Make the Basil Vinaigrette with the Olive Oil, Vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil strips.
Grill and Assemble
-
Preheat the grill on heat heat. Place the sliced Halloumi on a small grate grill or on aluminum foil with a little bit of Olive Oil so it doesn't stick. (Note: No seasoning is needed, this is very salty cheese.) These cook fast on high heat, so they only need 4-5 minutes on the first side and another 2-3 minutes on the second side. You want to see the char on these, so don't worry about, it tastes AMAZING!
-
Mix the tomatoes with the Basil Vinaigrette. Top on the slices of Halloumi and enjoy!
