Notes about this recipe

Nothing groundbreaking about this recipe, but very tasty. Definitely worth waiting for peak peach and tomato season to make.

Add some hot honey on to the halloumi

delicious summer meal! in response to previous reviews, black mustard seeds do have a different flavor than yellow or brown mustard seeds, but I don't think it will make or break your meal.

Delicious! Comes together quickly and had nice flavor. Mustard seeds were key. Fresh and zippy summer salad - will make again.

We had black mustard seeds and am not sure if this would have tasted better/different with yellow mustard seeds? I didn’t feel like they contributed much flavor, and had an almost bitter finish. Ripe peaches, heirloom tomatoes and basil are always a wonderful combo. The salty halloumi was nice.

This was a lovely early August meal! We got our mustard seeds from a local Greek store, and I think they were a little stale because I didn’t get as much mustard seed flavor as I would’ve liked. Another commenter said the vinaigrette fell a little flat, maybe their lemon wasn’t juicy enough or their produce not ripe enough. I personally thought it was great that it was zippy but still let the flavors of gorgeous in-season produce shine through. The halloumi is a fabulous addition, but could sear parts of a block of feta.

Beautiful visually-flavor was not as bold as I expected. Vinaigrette felt a bit flat.

This was so good! Heirlooms and peaches were plentiful at the farmer’s market so gave this recipe a go. Simple, fresh, and definitely a visual stunner if you use different color tomatoes.
