Makes 4 meal-sized servings Ingredients3 portobello caps, sliced1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved½ large red bell pepper, sliced¾ lb mesclun greens6 oz halloumi cheese, preferably low sodium, sliced into ½ inch thickness¾ cup fresh basil leaves, torn¼ cup balsamic vinegar¼ cup olive oilSalt/pepper to taste (*You shouldn’t need too much salt as the cheese itself is pretty salty) To prepare the vinaigrette, place the basil leaves, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in the bowl of a small food processor. Turn the processor on low, and add the olive oil slowly through the chute. This will emulsify and thicken the vinaigrette. Set aside.In a sauté or grill pan, heat the Portobello slices about 5-6 min on each side. Remove from heat, sprinkle with pepper, and allow to cool. Meanwhile, in another sauté or grill pan, heat the halloumi cheese slices for about 2-3 min on each side until browned (the cheese will release water at first, but then absorb it, so don’t worry). Remove from heat and set aside. To prepare the salad, toss together the mesclun greens, tomatoes, and red peppers. Divide between 4 plates, and top with a few slices of Portobello and halloumi. Pour a little vinaigrette over the salad and enjoy. |
