Bites
Cut the Halloumi cheese into squares about the same size as the cherry tomatoes. Pan-fry them for a couple of minutes in extra virgin olive oil. Then, place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
Put the halved tomatoes in a bowl and toss them with the vinaigrette.
Place half a tomato on a square of fried Halloumi cheese. Add a basil leaf and secure everything together with a toothpick. Repeat for the remaining tomatoes and cheese squares.
