Mediterranean Halloumi Platter with Honey
Yuuuuummy! That's all I have to say about this post. HALLOUMI has got to be one of my absolute favorite foods. I don't indulge in it too often, possibly once every couple of months. It is so simple and delicious. Perfect to top salads with and add to a snacking platter. Halloumi also reminds me of our time in Berlin. Thomas was getting his masters and was on a student budget when we first met, so he used to take me out to the corner falafel joints and I would jokingly call these romantic nights "Döner Dates". Haha ^^!
We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. =)
