#HotSummerEats: Grilled Haloumi-Watermelon Salad #sponsor


Grilled haloumi with watermelon is one of my favorite summer combinations. If you're never had haloumi, it's a semi-hard, brined cheese from Cyprus. I love doing a quick grill on it. For this easy salad, I used the Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette from Out of the Weeds* as my dressing on the greens, then topped it with slices of watermelon and grilled haloumi.


Ingredients

  • salad greens
  • salad dressing (I used the Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette from Out of the Weeds*)
  • haloumi cheese, thickly sliced
  • watermelon, sliced
  • fresh parsley for garnish


Procedure
Grill haloumi on a grill pan on the stove or on an actual grill. You don't need to grill it too long - just enough to warm it and get the grill marks.


While the cheese grills, toss greens with dressing and plate individually. Lay slices of watermelon on top of the greens. Top it all with the grilled haloumi. Garnish with fresh parsley.


Thanks, Out of the Weeds* - just one of our #HotSummerEats sponsors - for ingredients used in this recipe. Find Out of the Weeds on the web, on twitter, on facebook, on instagram, and on pinterest.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless.
