Green pasta salad | insimoneskitchen.com

Back from Berlin! Or really back from Gross Behnits, but I am pretty sure no one really knows that (unless you live in the area) so Berlin is easier to pinpoint the location. There will be another post highlighting all our adventures in Germany but because it is good weather I thought a pasta salad would be the right thing to post. This one I made together with Esmee two (or so) weeks ago an it is a good salad, but don’t leave the halloumi in there as it will become weak and soggy in no time. You want them nice and crispy. I bought this halloumi at the Albert Heijn. Since recently they stock it in the supermarket here.

And that is ofcourse handy but I was not too impressed with this particular hallomi. The texture seemed different and it was a little weak in taste. The halloumi I normally buy is always nice and crispy on the outside when baked and soft on the inside and nice and salty. Because that is why you would use halloumi for that little crispy and salty accent in your salad. That didn’t work so well with the supermarket variant I had. Just so you know. You can also substitute the cheese for crispy baked chorizo if you prefer. Maybe even better.
