I do kidney beans, chickpeas, green and black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts,pepperoncini ,roasted red pepper, parsley, dill, feta and if I have salami I'll throw it in too.
I made something similar today when friends dropped by unexpectedly and we talked for so long we needed food fast and I didn't want takeout. I boiled up some bowtie pasta, drained the oil out of some jarred peppers, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, olives and capers, then used scissors to chop them all up, dumped them in with the drained pasta and added some leaves from the basil plant growing on my window + salt and pepper. It was lovely and my friends raved about it and took some home with them, I was very pleased for <15 mins of prep time, only a pan and scissors to clean up from the prep and it was tasty, filling and nutritious
I love halloumi!!! It’s so salty and I love it, but it also can be used with a variety of foods. My only complaint is that it squeaks between your teeth.
Can we talk about how annoying it is when men wear black gloves when they cook to make it more masculine? It’s like a giant nohomo every time I see it. And it’s not more sanitary than washing your hands.
We had a breakfast with grilled halloumi cheese in Scotland and it was phenomenal, I’d never hear of it before. Come back to states and tried Oaxaca cheese griddled, it was very similar and delicious also.

Are you INSANE??? Halumi is excellently delicious!
You can use halloumi. If you have a latin grocery queso fresco also sears well and may be cheaper. Might even be in your standard store
HELLO, EVERY PIZZA PLACE
The cheese from a cottage is very funny
I'd be worried about the sodium content of combining so many canned/brined products in a meal

My kind of cooking there! … you can buy hallumi cheese here?????? Thats my favorite UK bar food!!!!
I'm a big pepperoncini guy from way back.
I love the Seinfeld shirt lol
Omg where did u get the shirt!?😂
In my family we call this an "all the things" salad ☺️ it's my favorite
Chickpeas are good, but I’ll usually throw them up. I have no idea why.
Let me say your one of the reasons i stoped starving myself a few days ago so i just wanted to say thank you❤
Yum I want to try this one.
Any suggestions for removing chickpea skins easily? If I eat too much of the skins, it upsets my guts XD
Halloumi is…. Indescribable. Salty, squeaky…. Probably my all time favorite cheese.
i would eat soooooo much halloumi if it wasn't so salty! sadly my stomach gets upset from too much salt very easily…
Sounds like a struggle meal growing up 😂

I have no idea why halloumi is so populat, its like eating rubber with no flavour.
Can we talk about how annoying it is when men wear black gloves when they cook to make it more masculine? It’s like a giant nohomo every time I see it. And it’s not more sanitary than washing your hands.
I absolutely love haloumi, we eat it at least once a week either as a side or in a wrap
Did bro really just butterfly knife his can opener😂
i freaking adore Halloumi!
every salad is just random ingredients thrown in a bowl
Where the people screaming about sodium
Oooohhhh halllooooouuumiiii 🤍
I have now made this twice. And will 1000% keep making it.
