This gorgeous rendition of a caprese salad contains next-level cheesy goodness in the form of halloumi! Semi-hard, unripened and made from a mixture of goat and sheep’s milk, this unique cheese has a high melting point, making it perfect for frying and grilling! It’s not hard to find either, simply stop by your local Heinen’s Cheese Department and give it a try!
Making this recipe is easy too! Simply slice and place the halloumi in a frying pan over high heat to create a crispy brown crust with a soft middle. Add colorful juicy tomatoes and top with Heinen’s balsamic glaze and microgreens for a beautiful and delicious Halloumi Caprese Salad.
