CRUNCHY HALLOUMI SALAD

Adapted from Tatte's original recipe.
Makes: 2 servings                        
​Takes: 20 minutes

Salad

• 1 head Boston lettuce or greens of your preference
• 4 radishes, thinly sliced
• 1 crisp apple, cut into thin slices or strips 
• 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced 
• ⅓ cup golden raisins or cranberries
• ⅓ cup chopped almonds
• 8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices

Dressing

• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• Salt and pepper

1. Chop up all your ingredients first; radishes, apple, carrots and halloumi. This will make the process much easier when you need to grab each ingredient. 
2. Set a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add ½ tablespoon olive oil. When it is hot, add the carrots and a tablespoon of brown sugar (optional) and cook, tossing often, for 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Stir in the raisins. Remove from the heat and set aside.
   
3. Wipe out skillet and add halloumi slices on medium high heat. Grill for a few minutes on each side. Make sure to flip them before they start to melt!

Dressing

1. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, tahini, salt, and pepper. Slowly stream in 3 tablespoons of the oil while whisking. 
2. Toss salad greens with dressing and place in a large bowl or plate. Top with all your fixings and halloumi slices. Enjoy!
