Halloumi Caprese Salad! 🍅

Halloumi cheese is the perfect cheese to go with my Halloumi Caprese Salad! 🍅

Have you ever tried halloumi cheese before? If not, it’s a hearty Cyprian cheese that has a nice salty bite and it can be grilled or pan fried without falling apart. 🥗

I love to turn simple ingredients into a recipe that brings out the natural and robust flavors of an ingredient! This halloumi caprese salad is a perfect example of doing so! I took 3 ingredients, halloumi, tomatoes, and basil, to make a flavorful lunch! 🌿

Ingredients 🛒

• Halloumi, sliced

• 2 tomatoes, sliced

• Basil leaves, torn

• Garlic olive oil

• Maldon salt

• Balsamic glaze

Directions ✍️

• Place cheese into a pan on medium heat and cook 2-3 minutes per side or until you get a golden crust.

• Add tomatoes scattered onto a plate with the cooked halloumi. Add torn pieces of basil all over the salad.

• Drizzle garlic olive oil, salt, and balsamic glaze all over.

• Enjoy your delicious caprese salad!

Bon Appétit! 👨‍🍳

... Read moreHalloumi cheese is a unique ingredient that adds a delightful salty bite to dishes. Originating from Cyprus, it can withstand high cooking temperatures without melting, making it perfect for grilling and frying. To enhance your Halloumi Caprese Salad, consider adding a drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper for an additional flavor dimension. When selecting tomatoes for your salad, opt for ripe heirloom or vine-ripened tomatoes as they provide a sweeter taste and a juicier texture. The combination of fresh basil leaves not only contributes to the taste but also adds a burst of color to your dish, making it visually appealing. Experiment with different types of salts like Fleur de Sel for a gourmet touch. Additionally, pairing your salad with a light, crisp white wine can elevate the overall dining experience, making it a perfect choice for summer gatherings or picnics.
