From a local source. There's enough here for a main dish meal. Ingredients:
2 fresh whole anaheim chilies, sliced into strips |
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil |
salt and pepper |
1 cup halloumi cheese, cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces |
1 cup firm cherry tomatoes, left whole |
1 lb mixed greens |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup champagne vinaigrette or 1/4 cup lemon juice |
2 teaspoons white pepper |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced |
Directions:
1. Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small non-reactive bowl.
2. Seed and stem the anaheim chilies.
3. Toss chilies in olive oil with salt and pepper and set aside.
4. Cover a small plate with a thin layer of olive oil and dip the slices of the halloumi cheese.
5. Preheat grill or stove top grill pan until it is very hot. Grill tomatoes and prepared chilies, then cheese *just* until it shows grill marks. Remove cheese before it melts.
6. Place the spring mix on a plate and add grilled tomatoes and chilies.
7. Finally, garnish salad with halloumi cheese squares on top and pass the dressing.
