Grilled gooey halloumi cheese, with a shock of herbs and zesty strawberries for a light and delicious salad. A great halloumi recipe!

It took me a little while to get onboard with the grilled Halloumi train. This was primarily due to the shortage of Halloumi cheese in my area for about month.

Well, my patience paid off. This “salad” is amazing. Grilled gooey cheese, with a shock of herbs and zesty strawberries.

G and I finished the serving of 4 between the 2 of us. This happens more often than I’d like to admit, but this salad was worth it. It’s a great dish to pair with a baguette and snack the meal away.

What is halloumi?

Halloumi is a salty cheese made from sheep and goat’s milk. It can be eaten raw, but it’s seriously good when grilled as it becomes gooey and soft in the middle.

A number of people who I’ve made halloumi for comment that it is similar to the Greek cheese dish Saganaki. Grilled halloumi can be grilled or seared in a pan for a few minutes per side.

The salty and warm halloumi recipe is a dreamy compliment to the sweet and juicy strawberries.

The herbs land a great balance in this dish as they ground it squarely in the savoury department.

This recipe comes together quickly and should be enjoyed straightaway when the grilled halloumi is at its best. 

If strawberries in salad aren’t your thing, tomatoes would work for a swap here too. Tomatoes would also lend a juicy and bright flavour context to compliment the salty grilled halloumi cheese.
