This got great reviews in our home! DH and I both felt the dressing complemented the halloumi perfectly and I loved the recipe because it used ingredients I already love and had. Very simple to put together. Even my toddler ate some and she is going through a fussy phase at the moment! -
Loved this, especially the sauce. Used 1/2 small red onion. -
Nice recipe although DH didn't like the dressing. Thanks! -
The pairing was perfect with the grilled taste and salty cheese. I used the dressing from Recipe #54032 for personal taste reasons but also made the recipes dressing, both worked great!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
