Halloumi & Tomato Salad with Garlic Herb Oil
This simple salad will be on repeat in your kitchen all summer long thanks to a bright and garlicky herb oil. Drizzled over grilled halloumi and bites of tomatoes bursting with flavor, the oil makes the ultimate finishing touch. Be sure to prep your dressing and chop your tomatoes before grilling your halloumi, so you can plate up and devour ASAP.

Ingredients

  • 2 heads garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 Tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp oregano, chopped
  • 1/4 c extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 1" thick slices
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, washed and diced

Instructions

Step 1

Place a small sauté pan over medium heat and add in olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, and chili flakes. Bring to a simmer and allow to remain at a simmer for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let oil rest until it reaches room temperature. Store it in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Step 2

Halloumi can be heated directly on the grill or in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Grill or sauté until cheese is golden brown (refrain from checking or moving it too much) about 5 minutes. Flip and continue to heat until golden brown on the other side, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Plate cheese and top with diced cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with garlic herb oil and enjoy!
