Grilled Halloumi Pear Salad – Quick and easy summer salad to put together but with a gourmet look and taste!

 

 

Grilled Halloumi Pear Salad

Halloumi is a cooking cheese from Cypress and is utilized throughout the Middle East. It’s a great way to add extra protein to any Vegetarian meal. This salad you can use either as an appetizer or serve a bigger portion to serve as a meal. If you’re a tofu hater like me, halloumi is a great cheese that you can use as an alternative in those tofu recipes.

This salad is so quick and easy to put together, but has a gourmet look and taste. It’s perfect to serve at summer parties.

Looking to make this salad part of a complete Middle Eastern Meal. Here’s a delicious menu for you.

Apple can also be used if you prefer to the pear. Melon would also work great!

  1. Fig jam is an interesting ingredient in the dressing. Salad has a nice blend of dry and fresh fruit flavors and must have tasted amazing with halloumi

  2. I’m also not a big fan of tofu, guess i will give halloumi a try. Salad and the dressing both sounds flavorful and refreshing. Great share, Mir.

  3. That is such an inviting and delicious looking salad with halloumi. I’m literally drooling thinking how yummy this must taste — salty, sweet and tangy – yumm, yumm!!

  4. I have heard a lot about halloumi and pear salad but never tried it. Reading your post, I guess I should definitely give it a try.
