- 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro, divided
- 1 tablespoon of fresh marjoram, stems removed

Grilled Halloumi with Herbed Berry Salsa Cooking Instructions
Halloumi has a very appealing flavor that’s unlike any other cheese. It is not boring, mildly feta-like, notably tangy, and never too strong. It can be enjoyed in almost any way you’d eat other cheeses. But here we are, serving it by grilling them with salsa.
Here is the cooking instruction:
Step 1: Everything in Mixing Bowl
Take a mixing bowl and place blueberries and red currants. Next, add mint, cilantro, marjoram, habanero, olive oil, agave syrup, and juice of 1 lime. Mix them well and set them aside.
Step 2: Grill the Halloumi
Take a nonstick griddle over medium-high heat and cook them until browned. Stirring them often to keep them from burning, 8 to 10 minutes. Then transfer cashews to a plate, set aside, and reduce the heat to medium. And, grill the halloumi cheese slices for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Step 3: Serve with Salsa
Finally, place the grilled halloumi cheese onto a plate, top with berry salsa mixture and the remaining 1 tablespoon of mint and cilantro. Spread cashews on top of halloumi. Then, garnish with lime wedges from the remaining lime. Serve immediately and enjoy your food.
