Grilled Halloumi with Berry Mint Salad

This is one of those ‘you don’t really need a recipe’ recipes.

Toss together juicy summer berries, jalapeno, mint and a little lime juice and serve over hot slices of grilled halloumi. Easy, fuss-fress yet incredibly delicious.

I created this recipe on a bit of a whim, having leftover halloumi from a client project a few weeks ago and not sure what to do with it. Since I always have fresh berries lying around this time of year, it’s no wonder I ended up pairing the two together.

For those of you who love sweet and salty combinations like I do, you will love this recipe. Salty, gooey halloumi with berries is like the ultimate fruit and cheese plate. Serve this one as is or as a side to something more hearty. It easily delivers as a light meal, a first course or a side dish.
