It’s cheese from Cyprus that fries without melting and has a neat squeaky feeling when you chew it. It’s perfect sliced and sauteed in a skillet with some butter. Finish it with some lemon juice for the traditional Cypriot style. The dense texture makes it ideal for tossing into salads. Fucking love halloumi.
Saganaki is just a Greek appetizer made of frying cheeses, sometimes including halloumi, but not necessarily. The way you describe it is one typical way it’s prepared.
Looks awesome! I’ve done similar salads and found that a pomegranate reduction is the perfect dressing for this type of combo. Think it’s time for another lunch…

I recently found out that paneer also works, at 1/4 the price, just needs a little salt.
I may have gone through a few 1kg blocks recently....

My ideal salad is a bowl of Hidden Valley ranch with a sprinkling of lettuce, carrots, and croutons

I wonder how it'd be if I substituted the peaches with fig slices (or some other non-peach fruit) I'm not crazy about peaches
