Ingredients
For the Dressing
- Zest of 1/2 orange, plus 1 tablespoon orange juice
- Zest of 1/2 lemon, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
- 2 teaspoons honey
- kosher salt
- black pepper
For the Salad
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced (about 1/2-inch thick)
- 4 ounces arugula
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 8 ounces halloumi, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 3 tablespoons coarsely crushed roasted pistachios
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the citrus zests and juices, olive oil, and honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- Griddle the peaches: Place a griddle pan over medium-high heat. Brush the peach slices with olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the peaches and cook until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Do this in batches if your pan is not big enough. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Griddle the halloumi: Brush the halloumi with olive oil and add to the same pan over medium-high heat. Griddle until lightly charred on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Cook in batches if your pan is not big enough. Transfer to the plate and turn off the heat.
- Prepare, dress and serve the salad: In a large serving dish, layer the arugula, halloumi, peaches, red onion, cucumber, and mint. Whisk and pour the dressing over the salad, toss to mix evenly. Sprinkle the crushed pistachios over the top and serve.
