While halloumi is at its best when cooked – either grilled or pan-fried – there are a couple of ways to enjoy it raw. Watermelon, feta and fresh mint salads are always popular in the summer. Try replacing the feta cheese with crumbled halloumi. Serve the salad chilled. Or replace the goat cheese with halloumi in Watermelon Phyllo Bites. Halloumi is very firm and can be grated. Grate it over pasta or your favorite green salad. Try it in place of goat cheese in my Strawberry Arugula Salad.
