Putting cheese on your salad is the best way to elevate your next meal. Grilled halloumi cheese adds a wonderful savoury element to this salad and after grilling, it develops a crispy golden exterior and a soft gooey interior. It goes perfectly with a bed of greens, crunchy elements like cucumber and almonds and bursts of sweetness from fresh juicy pineapple. Make it a main or a side dish!
