Hi there! Today I have a very simple and delicious salad with grilled Halloumi Cheese. Halloumi is a traditional cheese from Cyprus Island and I think that it's the best cheese for grilling. I'm sure that if you decide to make this salad you won't be disappointed.
You can find halloumi cheese in grocery stores, it's not so hard to find. If you do try it out, tell me what you think of it! Just don't forget to grill it!
Ingredients
1 / 2 cup of bulgur soaked in to water for 2 hours
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
1 / 2 cup fresh mint chopped
3 spring onions chopped
1 tomato, seeded and cut into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper cut into strips
1 orange bell pepper cut into strips
2 slices of halloumi cheese
Juice from 1 / 2 lemon
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt - Pepper
1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds to serve
Directions
Soak the bulgur in plenty of water for 2 hours. Drain and place it on a salad bowl. Add the chopped parsley, mint, spring onions, tomatoes, lemon juice, add some salt and pepper, olive oil and stir.
Using a hot grill, add the peppers and grill until soften. Remove the peppers and add them to the salad.
Place the cheese on the griller and cook it until it gets golden brown. Add the grilled cheese on top of the salad and sprinkle with sesame seeds .. Serve warm
Enjoy!
Great salad! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI love tabbouleh and I love halloumi - and I just realized that rhymes! Anyway, I know I will love this. I can't wait to try it. Lucky for me halloumi is widely available in Israel :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Eri - I have heard a lot of good things about halloumi but have never tried it - I do love tabbouleh though and your whole combination sounds superb!
ReplyDeleteHi Eri, this is a wonderful salad!!Your photos are so tempting..The halloumi addition is quite a finishing touch!Have a great day,XO
ReplyDeleteI've had a lot of cheese in my time, but never had halloumi. Not sure if it is available in my area, but I did find it online through igourmet. Thanks for introducing me to something new!
ReplyDeletehi Eri. Your salad looks wonderful, tasty and colorful.
ReplyDeleteI liked the addition of halloumi. I love that cheese.
Thank you for the recipe.
Hi Eri! So...it might be very silly question, but this cheese will not melt even after grilling it? Interesting and I would love to try this kind of cheese! Beautiful salad!!
ReplyDeleteI like the type to soak the bulgar. Looks beautiful - and tasty!

ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make tabbouleh at home, finally I have found a perfect recipe! We love eating salads and will make this for sure and will keep you posted on how it turns out. This really looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteEri,I liked tabbouleh very much so now I make it with quinoa. It looks perfect with haloumi cheese and peppers.
ReplyDeleteMy friend, I have a surprise waiting for you at my blog at http://simpleglutenfreekitchen.blogspot.com/
I am new on this blog but I was immediately hooked when I saw this recipe. I just looooove grilled pepper and this is something I just have to try!!!
ReplyDeleteI in addition to my pals were actually following the excellent solutions found on your site and so at once I had a terrible feeling I had not expressed respect to the blog owner for those secrets. All of the boys had been absolutely passionate to study all of them and already have sincerely been using these things. Many thanks for really being considerably helpful and for deciding upon this form of notable issues most people are really wanting to be aware of. My personal honest regret for not expressing gratitude to you sooner.
