  1. Cut the Halloumi cheese in squares approximately the same size as the cherry tomatoes. Pan fry them for a couple of minutes in a pan with extra virgin olive oil. Keep them on a plate covered with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
  2. Put the halved tomatoes in a bowl and toss them with the vinaigrette.
  3. Put half a tomato on a square of the pan fried Halloumi cheese.  Top with a basil leaf and skewer everything together using a toothpick.  Do this for all the remaining tomatoes and Halloumi cheese squares.
  4. Serve immediately.
