Asparagus Halloumi Salad

Preparation

1
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sauté the asparagus for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
2
While asparagus cooks, slice the halloumi block into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Add the halloumi slices to the same pan with the asparagus (or use a separate pan if needed). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
3
Halve the cherry tomatoes. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and cooked asparagus.
4
Arrange the pan-fried halloumi slices on top of the salad.
5
Drizzle the remaining olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
