Grilled quickly in a hot cast iron skillet and topped with a cilantro mojo or, as Sophie and I enjoyed at a Greek festival this spring, a vinaigrette with sliced tomatoes, capers, and fresh mint, it's a great appetizer or small side dish.
The only drawback is that the brand I usually buy is sort of expensive—almost $10 a container.
But check out what I found at Trader Joe's last week:

Tossed with several colors of miniature tomatoes, cilantro, a little olive oil, and a few squeezes of fresh lime, this mixture was a nice alternative with chips to a traditional salsa as an appetizer for our Mexican-themed Sunday dinner.
Grilled cheese AND saved money. Does it get any better than that?

Drool....The nearest TJ's is about half and hour away but this might make it worth the trip!
don't have TJ's in Australia. I got haloumi today from the Adelaide Central Market that's a huge food market where you can buy just about anything. Your salad looks lovely
Halloumi is the best! At my house we call in squeeky cheese.
I always know I can come over here and find my latest fun meal to make and serve.
This is totally going on my menu for the following weekend!
