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:

Use fresh limes. Fresh limes have a brighter, more flavorful juice than bottled lime juice.
Zest the limes before juicing them. The zest adds a bright citrus flavor to the vinaigrette.
Use good quality capers. Capers come in a variety of sizes and qualities. Look for small, firm capers that are packed in salt or brine.
Rinse the capers before using them. This will remove the excess salt or brine.
Whisk the vinaigrette vigorously. This will help to emulsify the oil and vinegar and create a smooth, creamy dressing.
Taste the vinaigrette before serving. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
Use the vinaigrette immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. The vinaigrette will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Caper and Lime Vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and meats. It is also a great marinade for chicken, fish, and seafood. The combination of citrusy lime, salty capers, and tangy vinegar makes this vinaigrette a delicious and refreshing addition to any meal.
