We picked up some halloumi the other day at Russo's. It's basically a cheese curd. And delicious! One of the best ways to eat this cheese is when it is grilled or fried up, so that it's got a slightly smoky flavor and some crunchy bits, as well as the telltale squeakiness of a cheese curd. mmmm.
We fried up some slices in a pan, then threw those down on top of a salad of bitter leaves - kale, radicchio, arugula, frisee, maybe some others. I think the dressing was a pretty simple vinaigrette of lemon, dijon mustard, and olive oil, though I am seeing some chopped pickled garlic in the photo, so clearly we put some of that on top, too.
It was delicious! I recommend making it. You could grill your halloumi if you don't want to fry it, but make sure the pieces are thick enough - it does melt a little bit as you apply heat, and you wouldn't want it to fall through the grill!
