Salad
Cut the halloumi cheese into 1 cm – ½ inch thick slices. Pan-fry them for a couple of minutes in a pan with extra virgin olive oil until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
Put the halved tomatoes, pan-fried halloumi, and basil leaves into a bowl, then toss with the vinaigrette.
