Grilled Nectarines & Halloumi Cheese Salad with Yogurt Sauce

halloumi cheese

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: feta cheese

Tofu provides a lower-calorie option, while feta is more affordable and still adds creaminess.

Mix 150 grams of Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of freshly ground ginger, a pinch of ground cardamom, and a pinch of red chili powder.

Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness with more honey if desired, then reserve for later.

Cut 2 nectarines into wedges, discarding the pit.

Cut 225 grams of halloumi cheese into bite-sized pieces.

Chiffonade a few leaves of fresh basil by rolling them up and slicing thinly.

Grill the nectarines on an outdoor grill or grill pan, lightly oiling the pan to prevent sticking.

Turn the nectarines once they have nice grill marks, then remove them from the pan and reserve.

Grill the halloumi cheese until both sides have nice grill marks.

Plate the salad by adding a spoonful of yogurt to the plate, followed by the grilled nectarines, sprinkled with basil, then add the grilled halloumi cheese.

Drizzle with honey and top with toasted pistachios and small basil leaves, garnished with corn flower petals.
