My favorite cheese…wait, let me start over. My favorite Summertime cheese is definitely halloumi. I would describe halloumi as a salty cheese, similar to mozzarella, but with a harder more squeaky texture. The best part about the cheese is that it grills or pan-sears like a dream.

With this salad, I wanted to add a big hit of freshness. I chopped up watermelon and cherry tomatoes and tossed it all together and it was magical!

The cheese surprisingly stays in tact when grilled or seared. It oozes out just a little bit. Then you chop it up and quickly add it to the salad. BOOM! Quick summer salad that is delicious.
