Halloumi Cheese & Tomatoes

Ingredients
2 big ripe tomatoes
250gr halloumi cheese, sliced
Fresh bay leaves
1 large onion cut in rounds
Avocado slices
2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
Oil and vinegar
Salt 
Cayenne pepper

Preparation
Cut the tomatoes in round slices.  Place the halloumi slices in a non-stick frying pan and fry on both sides until slightly golden.  In the same pan, sauté the bay leaves, after you crush them with your hands.
In a large serving plate, place the halloumi cheese forming half circle and decorate the inside part with the avocado slices.  Form a smaller circle with the tomato rounds and in the middle, place the onion on top of the tomatoes and around the bay leaves.
Sprinkle with the chopped chives, olive oil on the halloumi and tomatoes and a bit of vinegar on the tomatoes only.
Finally slightly salt the tomatoes.

Note: You may sprinkle the halloumi cheese with chopped mint instead of chives.
