Tomato Salad Recipe with Grilled Halloumi – Rainbow Salad

This beautiful tomato salad recipe is what I call Rainbow Salad due to the different colour tomatoes used. A summery combination of grilled Halloumi, mixed tomatoes, pomegranate seeds.. beautiful!

My tomato salad recipe genuinely looks as delicious as it tastes and warrants the nickname of a rainbow salad. Echoing Greek flavours and ideal for hot summer days to accompany your BBQ with the star of this rainbow salad recipe being the tomatoes.

I’ve also made a video recipe so you can watch how to make my tomato rainbow salad.
