Ingredients

  • 8 ounces halloumi, 1/2 inch sliced
  • 1 large avocado, 1/2 inch sliced
  • olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 5 ounces Arugula
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Creamy Basil Dressing

  • ⅓ cup Mayonnaise

Method

  1. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat.
  2. Brush the halloumi and avocado slices with olive oil. Place the avocado and halloumi on the grill until char marks appear, about 2 to 3 minutes each side.
  3. Meanwhile make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small food processor and blending until smooth. Add milk only if needed for consistency.
  4. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko to the butter and cook, tossing often until browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Place the arugula on a large platter. Add the tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle with the panko. Layer on the avocado and halloumi then drizzle with dressing.
