Variations & swaps
Variations and Substitutions
- Swap leafy greens – Instead of arugula or mixed greens, try baby spinach, kale, romaine, or butter lettuce for a different texture and flavor.
- Add grains – Incorporate quinoa, farro, bulgur, or couscous for a more filling salad.
- Try pickled elements – Pickled onions or radishes bring tanginess that balances the saltiness of halloumi.
- Crunch factor – Toasted almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, or sunflower seeds add texture and depth.
- Make it a sandwich - You can use grilled haloumi cheese in a toast or serve with pita bread.
