Ingredients

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried basil
4 cups baby spinach
1 nectarine, pitted and sliced
¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 (8.8 ounce) package halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch strips

Steps:

Whisk vinegar, olive oil, honey, mustard, salt, pepper, and basil together in a medium bowl. Set vinaigrette aside.
Toss 1/2 of the vinaigrette together with spinach, nectarine, almonds, red onion, and bell pepper in a large bowl.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add strips of halloumi and let cook until the undersides are golden brown and all liquid has been released and evaporates, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is golden brown, about 1 minute more.
Plate servings of salad, top with warm halloumi slices, and serve with remaining vinaigrette.

SPINACH & BACON HALOUMI SALAD

Spinach & Bacon Haloumi Salad image

Haloumi is a firm, salty Greek cheese. You can use salami or ham instead of bacon, if you like. This salad is great served with grilled Turkish Pide, or beef sausages. From the January 2009 issue of "recipes +" magazine.
