I have a slight halloumi obsession. It screams summer dinners to me and is exactly what I crave when I want something filling enough for dinner which can still leave me feeling light, fresh and summery.
Just like my griddled halloumi with herby barley and roasted veg, this grilled halloumi salad is such a tasty weeknight dinner and really makes halloumi the star!
Ingredients you need to make this grilled halloumi salad with herby tomato salsa:
- Red Onion
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Parsley
- Mint
- Olive Oil
- Pomegranate Molasses
- Aleppo Chilli Flakes
- Halloumi

So there are so many fab ways to use this grilled halloumi salad. We made ours on the hob and had it as our dinner with a bit of crusty bread but you could definitely serve this as a side dish at a barbecue.
Whip up the herby salsa ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until ready to use. Then once you’re ready to eat just throw your slices of halloumi on the barbecue and get them all crispy and grilled.
Put the halloumi and salsa together on a platter along with some fresh tomatoes and a sprinkling of herbs and you’ve got an amazing side salad or something to please any veggies at your barbecue.
We’ve become obsessed with pricey tomatoes these days. I’m always so envious of the beautiful colourful tomatoes that so many bloggers have in their photos.
I’ve always felt fairly ambiguous about tomatoes but recently we had a revelation when we bought some fancy tomatoes and it’s a flavour EXPLOSION. Pretty life changing.
And then we found these gorgeous colourful tomatoes and they look so pretty! So this seemed like the perfect thing to make tomatoes the star.
If you can find some then definitely give them a try because they’ll liven this dish up and y’know, you eat with your eyes and all that!
If you give this recipe a try then let me know, it’s a big plate of summer and it’ll put a smile on your face.
