Equipment

Instructions
Prepare Dressing:
- Combine olive oil, juice, maple syrup, and zest in a small bowl. Whisk ingredients together well, then season to taste with salt and peper. Set aside.
Grill Vegetables and Cheese:
- Heat a grill pan over medium heat OR preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high.
- Lightly brush vegetables and cheese with cooking oil.
- Grill vegetables and cheese on one side without moving. When grill marks appear, flip and cook on other side. (If you are grilling outside, use a grill basket for the tomatoes, onions, and cheese.)
- Remove vegetables and cheese from grill. Season veggies with salt and pepper.
Assemble Salad:
- Toss greens with just enough dressing to lightly coat. Arrange on a platter.
- Top lettuce with grilled vegetables. Drizzle veggies with dressing.
- Add olives (if using) and halloumi to salad.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Let veggies cool slightly before topping greens, otherwise they'll wilt.
If you are using a grill pan and cooking indoors, I recommend using an oil with a high smoke point (here's a good list). Doing so will produce less smoke in your kitchen. When cooking on an outdoor grill, I use extra virgin olive oil, although other oils will work, too.
