A quick and delicious summer salad featuring grilled halloumi cheese and peaches, topped with a sweet and tangy honey balsamic drizzle. Perfect for light meals or backyard barbecues.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
  • 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, baby spinach, spring mix)
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ¼ cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts
  • Optional: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
  2. Slice the halloumi into ½-inch thick pieces and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Grill the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown with grill marks and slightly crispy edges.
  4. Grill the peach halves cut side down for 3-4 minutes until caramelized and slightly softened but still holding shape.
  5. While grilling, toss the mixed greens and torn basil leaves in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
  6. Whisk together honey and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl or jar until smooth and glossy. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.
  7. Arrange the greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Fan grilled halloumi slices and grilled peach halves over the top.
  8. If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts over the salad.
  9. Drizzle the honey balsamic mixture over the salad just before serving. Optionally, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Notes

Choose firm halloumi and peaches for best grilling results. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure proper browning. The honey balsamic drizzle can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to two days. For a dairy-free option, substitute halloumi with grilled tofu or plant-based cheese.
