Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Halloumi cheese Sliced into 1/4-inch thick slabs
  • 4 cups Arugula Washed and dried
  • 1 whole Avocado Pitted and diced
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes Halved
  • 1/2 whole Yellow bell pepper Thinly sliced
  • 1/2 whole Orange bell pepper Thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Green beans Trimmed and blanched
  • 1/2 cup Snap peas Trimmed
  • 1/2 whole Cucumber Thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil Divided use
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice Freshly squeezed

Instructions
 

  • Wash and prep all vegetables. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the avocado, thinly slice the bell peppers and cucumber, and trim the green beans and snap peas.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to cool. Drain and set aside.
  • Pat each slice of halloumi cheese completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy sear.
  • Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the halloumi slices lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown grill marks appear.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the arugula, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, snap peas, and cooled green beans.
  • Whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the lemon juice to create a simple dressing. Drizzle over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  • Top the dressed salad with the diced avocado and the warm grilled halloumi slices. Serve immediately while the cheese is still soft and crisp.
