What does Halloumi taste like?
For those of you who have never tried halloumi cheese, it has a taste similar to feta cheese, but it has much less moisture so you are able to brown it in a pan, grill, or air fryer very easily! The cheese is naturally salty, so when you pair it with fresh fruit or vegetables it is an amazing combination.
How do you eat halloumi cheese?
One of the easiest but most effective ways to cook halloumi is to cut it into slices and heat it in a pan or air fry it. Here is the recipe for my Air Fryer Halloumi . It doesn’t require any additional ingredients, just keep an eye on it as it cooks quickly – once it’s golden, it’s good to go.
Ingredients for Halloumi Salad:
- Halloumi Cheese
- Grape Tomatoes
- Mini Cucumbers
- Olive Oil
