Italian Halloumi Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the halloumi cheese into small cubes and set aside.

   Tip: Use a sharp knife to get even cubes.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, red onion, salt, and black pepper.

   Tip: Make sure to chop the basil finely to distribute evenly.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and white wine vinegar to make the dressing.

   Tip: Adjust the ratio of oil to vinegar to your taste.

4. 4

   Add the dressing to the bowl with the tomatoes and basil, and toss to combine.

   Tip: Don't overdress, you want the tomatoes to still have some bite.

5. 5

   Add the halloumi cheese cubes to the bowl and toss gently to combine.

   Tip: You want to distribute the cheese evenly, but don't overmix.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

   Tip: Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste.

7. 7

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

   Tip: This will help the flavors come together and the cheese to chill.

8. 8

   Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped parsley on top (if using) and serve with grilled bread.

   Tip: Grill the bread until it's lightly toasted and crispy, then slice it into thick slices.
