Reviews
From the success we’ve seen with grilled halloumi and watermelon skewers, we’re definitely going to squeeze this in to a BBQ or two before summer ends.
I have never had halloumi cheese before but found it at the grocery store and boy was this good. I did substitute tomatoes for the watermelon as I do not like watermelon and red wine vinegar for the lemon. I will definitely make this again.
OMG. This was delicious. I riffed a little and just tossed the arugula and basil together in a little lemon juice, And slathered some ciabatta bread with some olive tampinada. I grilled the cheese and the bread in a flat cast iron grill pan.
So delicious! Very easy and quick to make as well. I am a vegetarian and really appreciate the veg-friendly grilling options!
