Grapefruit Rounds with Halloumi Cheese
Grapefruit Rounds with Halloumi Cheese

From: EatingWell Magazine, January/February 2013
In this beautiful grapefruit salad recipe we pair the salty flavor of halloumi cheese with sweet-tart ruby grapefruit and aromatic mint. Halloumi cheese has a texture similar to mozzarella, but it browns rather than melts when it is heated. Look for halloumi in tubs or airtight packs near other imported cheese in large supermarkets.

Halloumi is one of my favorite cheeses and it pairs perfectly with the grapefruit. Whenever grapefruit is in season I try to make this (and then I try not to eat the entire thing in one sitting!)
