A summer grilled halloumi salad with the combination of creamy avocado, sweet nectarine, juicy tomatoes and fresh herbs is super refreshing and so easy to prepare. Serve it with warm pita for a simple weekend lunch.<\/p>\n

Grilled halloumi salad<\/h2>\n

This salad is all about summer grilling. Grilled halloumi is the star here. It\u2019s salty, chewy texture is complimented with sweet summer stone fruit (which by the way can also be grilled) and juicy tomatoes. If you are already familiar with halloumi, you know that it makes a great vegetarian grill option in summer. And the great thing about it is that it goes with just about anything. Think freshly baked ciabatta, summer fruit (especially watermelon), grilled Mediterranean vegetables and fresh flavours from lemon and mint. Even served with a homemade marinara sauce \u2014 options are endless. But my favourite is in salads.<\/p>\n

\nPreparing halloumi is easy<\/h2>\n

To grill this Cypriot-origin cheese all you need is a little olive oil and a stove top grill pan<\/a> or griddle<\/a> for your BBQ. As a firm cheese with a high melt point, it\u2019s also sturdy enough withstand being cooked directly over a charcoal or gas BBQ, however it has a tendency to stick, so either thread it onto skewers or making sure the grill grates are well oiled and coat the cheese lightly with oil before grilling. Then grill the cheese for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the slices, until it\u2019s golden and a little charred on all sides. Voila!<\/p>\n

No grill or grill pan? Just pan sear the cheese in a nonstick skillet. TIP: make sure the rest of your meal is prepared, as halloumi tastes best straight off the grill!<\/p>\n
