KATHYS FRIED HALLOUMI CHEESE WITH LIME AND CAPER VINAIGRETTE

Kathys Fried Halloumi Cheese With Lime and Caper Vinaigrette image

A starter for 6 or light meal for 4 with French/pitta bread We had this as a delicious starter at a friends house, and I begged her for the recipe, I cant wait to try it!! I'm guessing at the amount of halloumi, but basically you want to have about four 'fingers' per person, as a starter. The dressing was marvellous! I love halloumi but have never tried making it, well, thats now going to change :D

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh limes and capers.
If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice. However, fresh limes will give your vinaigrette a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
You can use any type of vinegar for this vinaigrette, but white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar are good choices.
If you don't have shallots, you can use a small onion instead.
Add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
Taste your vinaigrette before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
This vinaigrette is best served immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Caper and lime vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, grilled meats, and fish. It's also a great way to add a pop of flavor to your favorite recipes. With its bright, citrusy flavor and salty, briny undertones, caper and lime vinaigrette is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
