The recipe for fried halloumi caprese emphasizes the importance of peak tomatoes for optimal flavor. Halloumi is favored over mozzarella for its sharper, saltier taste and crispy texture when fried. Flash frying fresh oregano not only crisps the leaves but also creates a fragrant oil that enhances the salad. The simplicity of the dish relies on high-quality ingredients to truly shine and deliver a flavorful experience.
I'm going to ask, but not demand, that you wait for peak tomatoes. This salad is especially bare bones, so everything needs to be on point for it to sing.
I love halloumi in a caprese because (and this is not mozzarella slander) it has a sharper, saltier, tangy flavor and fries up so nicely for a slightly crispy outside.
Flash frying fresh oregano not only crisps up the leaves but also gives you a super fragrant oil to drizzle over the final salad.
