Have you ever tried halloumi cheese? It’s great! In fact, it’s one of my favorite cheeses which is why I wrote about is in this article. It has a firm, almost meat-like texture which makes it very filling and versatile.
It’s a Greek cheese that’s made from cow and goats milk and it’s an ingredient of a lot of my favorite meals.
One of the things I like best about halloumi is how quickly it cooks and that it doesn’t melt when heated. In fact, it goes a lovely brown color and is crispy on the outside but soft and chewy in the middle. It’s a great addition to almost any meal, but it’s especially good in salads.
Salads are the perfect ready-in-minutes, low carb, grab and go lunch. Filling and healthy, I often have a salad for lunch – usually made with lots of raw vegetables.
This recipe combines several of my all-time favorite ingredients which is why I am so happy to share it with you today. Try it; you are going to love it!
