Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the ingredients

    Wash the cherry tomatoes and arugula. Pat the arugula dry and slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm thick slices.

  2. 2

    Fry the halloumi

    In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Sauté the tomatoes

    In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the salad

    On a serving plate, create a bed of arugula. Top with the fried halloumi slices and sautéed cherry tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Finish with glaze and basil

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
