Ingredients


Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Slice the eggplant. Liberally cover it with table salt and set aside for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Rinse the salt off of the eggplant, then pat it dry.
  3. Slice the halloumi and set aside.
  4. Place the eggplant and halloumi on the preheated grill or (lightly greased) grill pan and cook until grill marks start to appear.
  5. Flip and cook until grill marks appear and the cheese is firm.
  6. Assemble the salads by placing a bed of greens on each plate, and topping with the eggplant, cheese, radishes, onions, and eggs.
  7. Make the dressing by pureeing all of the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  8. Drizzle with pesto dressing immediately before serving.

Notes

As halloumi cooks, it releases a lot of water. It may smoke or sputter, but don't panic. Eventually, the moisture will cook off and grill marks will appear on the cheese. You'll know the halloumi is ready to flip when it's firm enough to do so successfully. That sounds like an oxymoron, but if you try to flip it and it is floppy or starts to crumble, it's not ready yet. You can serve this with the eggplant and cheese hot or cold. You can use any pesto you want, but I used this radish greens pesto recipe. If you use a different pesto recipe, depending on how runny it is to begin with, you may need more or less oil or water to thin it out.
