directions

  • In a bowl, mix the oil, lemon, capers, garlic and rosemary. Add the sliced cheese, turning to coat and cover. Marinate for at least one hour.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or fry in a pan over medium-high heat). Remove the cheese from the marinade reserving the vinaigrette. Grill the halloumi until browned, about 2 minutes each side. Don't overcook. Cool and cut into smaller pieces and toss with the basil, tomatoes and reserved vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper and serve over greens, if desired.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too.
