What You’ll Need:

1/3-ish pound piece Halloumi cheese, sliced in half lengthwise


1 bunch kale, any variety, torn from stem

 

For the dressing:

½ c light olive oil

½ tsp sea salt

½ tsp whole grain mustard

Juice of 1 small lemon

2 cloves garlic

Black pepper to taste


To prepare kale, tear from woody stem and (literally) massage leaves in your fingertips. This sounds weird, but you have to trust us on this one.. The result is super tender delicious raw greens!

 Combine ingredients for dressing in a small food processor or blender and puree. 

 Finally, heat a frying pan to medium-high heat.  Sear cliced cheese 2-3 min each side, or until browned.  Cube cheese into cruton- size chunks and sprinkle over greens.  Toss with prepared dressing & dive in!
