Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoon Tamari sauce or soy with 1 ½ teaspoons of honey. Add 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a grill pan along with 1 tablespoon of oil, mushrooms and bell peppers, and saute for 2-3 minutes. Season with sesame seeds. The veggies should still retain their bite, so don’t overcook. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine lettuce and arugula leaves, carrot, cabbage, cherry tomatoes, onion, and parsley.
To the same pan, add cubed or sliced halloumi cheese, along with 1 tablespoon of the marinade. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning from side to side to ensure all the sides are golden brown. Remove from heat.
To the bowl with the vegetables, add the cooked mushrooms and peppers that you fried at the beginning and the pan-fried halloumi cheese. Sprinkle with a little sesame seeds, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a small jar, make the salad dressing: 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of mustard, juice of half a lemon, 2 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour salad dressing onto the salad, mix and serve immediately.
