Halloumi Mango Salad

Submitted by PetsRus

"The combination of mango with the Halloumi cheese is very nice. It serves four as a starter, we have it often for the two of us as a maincourse with some nice bread, oh and don't forget the wine!! The source is The Vegetarian Society"

My DH & I both enjoyed this! My husband doesn`t eat anything goat!!This is the first time we had this cheese. Expensive $8.00 for 8 ounces!It`s worth it! I bought 2 and froze one. In the salad dressing I also added fresh basil and chopped up cucumbers. LOTS of pepper. The 2 of us ate the whole salad. AND HE doesn`t eat salad! And all I have to say is put mango in anything and you have a great dish! I also topped it with some sugared pecans! Thanks for for the new cheese experience(to us).

Delicious!! I never would have expected this combination to work so well, but we just can't get enough of this now that we've discovered this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it!

Extraordinarily good! I'd never eaten halloumi before; it does pair wonderfully with the mango. Thanks for posting.

Look out for Greek owned shops when looking for Halloumi. I once bought halloumi for over $10/200g in NZ. Here at my local Greek greengrocer who has a good supply of Greek speciality foods on the side, I can get a 2 kg bucket for $20. This is a very pretty salad and it tastes fantastic too. I managed to whip this up in less than 15 minutes but I am used to using halloumi. Just make sure to wash all the brine off the halloumi first.
