Spinach, rocket, grapes and haloumi


When deciding on ordering a nutritious salad during your Skopelos holidays, serach for one that combines lots of green vegetables and cheese. Spinach and rockets offer lots of healthy elements that boost your energy levels while cheese adds that delicious flair you desire when holidaying in the Mediterranean. The selected cheese for the salad that will be described below is haloumi. Haloumi is a Cypriot semi-hard, unripened brined cheese made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk and sometimes also cow’s milk. It has a high melting point and so can easily be grilled.

Take a glimpse on how we make a spinach, rocket salad with haloumi and if you decide on tasting it you will discover why it is a must-taste for every visitor during their Skopelos holidays.

  • First we cut the haloumi cheese in small pieces and grill them for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Then we cut the spinach and rockets and place them on the plate.
  • We start preparing our vinaigrette by mixing in a bowl the ingredients: a bit of honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and some fennel seeds.
  • When the haloumi is grilled we place it on the plate, above the spinach and rockets, we add the vinaigrette and add some grapes on top.

So, when you need a refreshing and nutritious meal to help you keep going during your day at the beach, select the spinach-rocket0haloumi salad. Your Skopelos holidays will instantly be filled with a tasty new discovery!
