Ingredients

  • 8 oz block halloumi cheese
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon finely minced shallot
  • 1 pinch each salt and pepper
  • 3 cups packed salad greens
  • 1 large honey crisp apple, cored and chopped into ½" pieces
  • ½ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper (optional for easy clean up).
  • Cut the halloumi into small cubes, about ½" each. Spread them out on the baking sheet along with the pecans. Bake for 10 minutes or until the halloumi is warm and the pecans are toasted.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette. Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallot, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk to emulsify or shake in a tightly sealed container.
  • Place the greens, apples, and cranberries in a large bowl. Top with the warm halloumi and pecans and toss with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to your desired taste. Serve warm.
