Tomato and Halloumi Cheese

This salad was or is in part inspired by a very good friend who showed me many years ago when I was visiting her that she would fry Halloumi cheese and eat it as a snack. I know fried cheese isn't the most healthiest ingredient to add to a salad. However it is quite lovely. It is saltier than feta and has a cheese curd like consistency. 

I sliced yellow and red tomatoes arranging them on a plate. Then I thinly sliced some red onions and then some radishes. Arranging them with the tomatoes. Then topped the salad with three pieces of Halloumi cheese. I had already made a dressing of basic oil and vinegar with herbs which was drizzled over the top. Very simple. Very fast. Easy and delicious. Enjoy! -JW  

Two Tomatoes

The other day I did a post about the vegetables that were pulled from our garden. Having two green tomatoes I decided to put them in the window sill. Letting them soak up as much of the sun as they wanted. I took a picture about every two days. Here is a brief photo diary of the ripen tomatoes... 

Day 1: Green and green 

Day 3: One slightly orange tomato and one green tomato

Day 5: One red tomato and one, still very green tomato

Day 7: One bright red ripe tomato and one yellowish green tomato

After seven days the red tomato was added to a lovely mixed green salad. The flavour was amazing! As for the not so ripe, green tomato it is still sitting in the window. Becoming more yellow. We have pulled more tomatoes from our garden which will get their chance to ripen. Hope they like the sun! -JW
