Halloumi Side Salad

Jami Powell
Now THIS is the cheese that can truly level up any side salad! Halloumi is a Mediterranean cheese that is mellow in flavor and great for grilling or pan frying because it doesn't melt. Instead, you get a crisp exterior and a soft, gooey interior that has a slight feta-like tang. Served over arugula with tomatoes, this salad is ultra satisfying and delicious.
