Tasty Salad with grilled grapes andhalloumi cheese.

Salty & Sweet Salad With Grilled Grapes & Pan-Fried Halloumi

June 13, 2016

If you are feeling a little bit fancy, this unusual salad comes together in minutes with just a few ingredients.  It couldn’t be easier. Warm, jammy, grilled grapes harmonize with salty Halloumi cheese to add a touch of Mediterranean flair to your salad plate. This salad is substantial enough to stand on its own as a light meal, but would also pair nicely with grilled chicken or fish.

Halloumi is a Greek cheese. I discovered it at my favorite local natural foods store. I had no idea how it tasted, but I haven’t met a cheese I didn’t love, so I bought it in good faith. As it turns out, it’s a very versatile cheese. In flavor, it reminds me a little of mozzarella. It’s salty, with a fairly sturdy texture which makes it perfect for grilling or pan-frying. It gives a nice bit of heft to this salad and provides a salty contrast to the sweetness of the grilled grapes.
