ReplyDeleteI would really enjoy something like this. So good!
ReplyDeleteNot for me. Haloumi is tooo salty for me, and I only like capsicum raw. It does look lovely though.
ReplyDeleteCucumber salad. Now that sounds interesting.

I loved the Halloumi I fried in Kerry Gold butter but found it way too salty. I bought another block of it but haven't had the nerve to try frying it again, maybe in some coconut oil or avocado oil this time.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Halloumi! This looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I miss halloumi!xxx
