Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 8 ounces Halloumi cheese
- 2 whole Anaheim chilis
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch-thick slabs. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Rub the Anaheim chilis with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place them on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Grill the halloumi slices on the same hot grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown grill marks appear. Remove and set aside.
Once the Anaheim chilis are cool enough to handle, peel away the charred skin, remove the seeds, and slice them into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced Anaheim chilis, and chopped fresh parsley.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the greens evenly.
Top the salad with the grilled halloumi slices and serve immediately.
