Mixed Tomato and Halloumi Salad

April 24, 2015 By Manu 5 Comments

Mixed Tomato and Halloumi Salad

I am enjoying the Italian springtime at the moment and I can’t help but thinking about the amazing tomato crop that will soon be available at the local markets.  There is absolutely nothing better than ripe Italian tomatoes!  I must say though, that Australia too grows some delicious tomatoes, like the ones in this recipe.  They look beautiful and they taste even better!  A few days before leaving on holiday, I made this colourful salad and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Don’t you just love colourful dishes?  They immediately put a smile on my face and I can’t wait to dig in!  I really like Halloumi cheese, especially pan fried, but remember that it’s quite salty, so be careful when adding salt to your vinaigrette.  You can serve this salad as a side dish, an appetiser or even a main dish with some crusty bread, like my Ciabatta.  Light and tasty!  Enjoy!

    Love the combo. The saltiness of the HALLOUMI and fried crunch completely bind with the tomatoes. I use strips of fried HALLOUMI over greens , and as soup garnish . Think of this as caprese meets cryprus on a hot, dry summer day . Thanks for sharing

    Sounds great. I tried growing cherry tomatoes here in Sydney for the first time this year. Bit of a failure. So disappointing. Don’t know whether I’d bother again. But I did get revenge and wrote a blog post about it:‪https://ambradambra.wordpress.com/2015/01/31/home-groan-tomatoes-a-labour-of-love/ ‬
