6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |
2 hearts of romaine, quartered lengthwise |
1 large red onion, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick rounds |
1 8.8-ounce package halloumi cheese, cut crosswise into 8 slices |
