By Simone Van Den Berg
Don’t leave the halloumi cheese in the pasta salad long before serving time as it will become weak and soggy in no time. You want them nice and crispy.
Halloumi adds that little crispy and salty accent in your salad that is delicious. You can also substitute the cheese for crispy baked chorizo if you prefer.
