Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While the grill heats up, prepare the ingredients.
-
Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the slices on a plate and lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, chopped mint, and parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.
-
Once the grill is hot, carefully place the halloumi slices on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until charred grill marks appear and the cheese begins to soften.
-
While grilling the halloumi, you can also place the cherry tomato mixture on the grill to heat for about 1-2 minutes, just enough to lightly blister the tomatoes.
-
Remove the grilled halloumi and tomatoes from the heat and transfer to a serving platter.
-
Sprinkle the salad with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preference. You can also add an extra drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.

Enjoy your Grilled Halloumi and Tomato Salad while the cheese is warm and gooey, paired beautifully with the sweet burst of cherry tomatoes and fragrant herbs. This dish is a perfect balance of flavors and textures that will leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed.
