Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz halloumi cheese sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • 2 large firm-ripe peaches pitted and sliced into wedges
  • 5 cups baby arugula
  • 1/2 cup English cucumber sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or basil, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small jar, combine the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme, honey, salt, and black pepper. Shake vigorously to emulsify the herb vinaigrette and set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor cast-iron grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the peach wedges and halloumi slices with a small amount of olive oil.
  • Place the halloumi slices on the hot grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deep, golden grill marks appear. Transfer to a plate.
  • Place the peach wedges on the grill. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until slightly softened and charred. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large serving bowl, toss the baby arugula, sliced cucumber, and red onion with half of the herb vinaigrette.
  • Arrange the warm grilled halloumi and peaches on top of the greens. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve immediately.
