THE RECIPES

Heirloom Tomato and Grilled Halloumi Panzanella with Basil Oil

If you've never grilled halloumi, what are you waiting for?! The flavor and texture is a cross between mozzarella and feta but it doesn't fully melt, making it perfect for grilling. Top with some juicy tomatoes, sourdough bread, kale and a vibrant basil oil dressing and you have a quintessential end of summer salad.

Feedfeed Tip Massaging the kale with lemon juice before tossing it with the rest of the salad ingredients helps to tenderize the leaves making it easier to digest while giving it a more palatable texture.
