Steps:
- Whisk together lime juice and zest in a large heatproof bowl. In a small skillet, heat 5 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until light golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whiskoil mixture into lime mixture; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 2 tablespoons dressing; add corn and tomatoes to remaining dressing and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return skillet to medium-high heat and swirl in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add halloumi (be careful; it may splatter) and cook, flipping once, until golden and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Scatter arugula on a serving plate; top with corn-tomato mixture. Serve, with halloumi and reserved dressing on the side.
HALLOUMI, CHICKPEA, AND TOMATO SALAD WITH MINT
Halloumi is the hot new cheese! Well, really, it's ancient, not new--but it is best fried or grilled, so "hot" is fair, isn't it? This fresh salad combines halloumi with tomatoes, mint, and chickpeas, Mediterranean-style.

CUCUMBER-TOMATO SALAD WITH SEARED HALLOUMI AND OLIVE OIL CROUTONS
This recipe, inspired by the Greek horiatiki salad, illustrates the power of good, fresh olive oil to make a dish taste bright and rich - and never oily. It's used here to toast the croutons, to infuse garlic into the dressing and to distribute the sweetness of ripe tomatoes throughout the salad. Finally, use it to pan-fry slices of halloumi and make this a vegetarian main course.

Steps:
- Make the croutons: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each slice of bread into 1-inch-wide strips. Tear each strip into 1-inch pieces, removing the crust as you go if it is very thick. Transfer to a large baking sheet (or use 2 sheets, if necessary to prevent crowding). Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
- Bake until golden brown and crunchy on the outside, 18 to 22 minutes, rotating the baking sheet and turning the croutons halfway through so they brown evenly, and checking them every few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a light sprinkling of salt, if needed. Let cool on the baking sheet.
- Make the salad: In a colander in the sink, toss the cucumbers with about 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place a bag of ice cubes or an ice pack on top to chill and firm the cucumbers. Let drain while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes with about 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Slice the halloumi about 1/4-inch thick, then cut into bite-size strips. Smash and peel the garlic cloves and combine with 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl to steep.
- Pour off excess liquid from the bowl holding the tomatoes. Add drained cucumbers, red onion or scallions, fresh herbs and 2 tablespoons vinegar to tomatoes and toss well. Remove and discard the garlic cloves from the extra-virgin olive oil, add the oil to tomatoes and mix well. (If desired, the salad can be made up until this point and refrigerated for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Drain off excess liquid in the bottom of the bowl before proceeding.)
- When ready to serve, add about half the croutons to the salad and toss so they can absorb the liquid. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt, pepper, extra-virgin olive oil and vinegar.
- Cook the halloumi: Line a plate with paper towels and lightly coat a nonstick skillet with extra-virgin olive oil. Heat oil over medium-high until rippling. Working in batches, cook the halloumi strips on both sides until golden-brown and crusty, about 1 minute per side. Remove to the plate to drain.
- Taste and add more croutons to salad as desired. (If there are too many, the salad will be starchy; too few, and it will be wet.) At the last minute, toss in the halloumi, add another good glug of extra-virgin olive oil, mix gently and serve immediately. (If desired, transfer to a clean bowl or platter for serving.)

TOMATO, BASIL, AND HALLOUMI SALAD
I love pan-seared halloumi cheese and I thought it would be amazing with the slight sweetness of tomatoes, which are old friends of basil of course. I didn't add any salt as halloumi is very salty on it's on. You can adjust the amount of any of the ingredients to your tastes. I love garlic and probably use even more than a tsp when I make this dish, so use sparingly if you're not a big fan. I eyeballed the ingredients when I made this as well so they can be adjusted easily.

Steps:
- Remove the cheese from the package and squeeze lightly with paper towels to get most of the moisture off the outside of the cheese block.
- Put a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and heat on medium to med-high heat.
- While the skillet is heating up, cut the halloumi into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch cubes.
- Place the cubes in the heated pan and toss occasionally while cooking to brown the halloumi cubes on most sides.
- When the cubes have browned on most sides, remove from heat and set aside.
- Dice the tomatoes and cut the basil leaves (I usually place them on top of each other, roll them up length wise, and use scissors to cut them top to bottom, resulting in strands of basil).
- When the cheese has cooled for a few minutes, place in a bowl with tomatoes, basil, scallions, garlic and the rest of the olive oil and toss to mix.
- Put the mix in the fridge for at least a few hours to let the flavors develop (or consume immediately, which is what I did. I have no patience when it comes to cheese, but the salad does taste better if given time to sit).
