Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz halloumi cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives
- 1/2 medium cucumber
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh mint
Instructions
- Start by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Once done, set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, cucumber, red onion, and roasted red peppers.
- For the dressing, whisk together the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, and salt and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
- Divide the salad mixture among four plates. Top each with the pan-seared halloumi slices.
- Garnish with fresh mint if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
