Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups carrot sticks
- 2 cups chopped celery, peeled
- ⅓ cups chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ large red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup frank’s hot sauce
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons avocado oil
- 17.6 oz. halloumi, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ⅓ cup blue cheese crumbles
- ⅓ cup blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine carrot sticks, celery, parsley, and red onion.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and sea salt. Pour this dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. Refrigerate.
- Prepare the buffalo sauce by simmering frank’s hot sauce, butter, and honey in a small saucepan. Whisk until combined and then remove from heat.
- In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over medium/high heat. Add halloumi cubes and cook, allowing the first side to brown for a few extra minutes before flipping to brown all sides. Toss with the buffalo sauce after cooking.
- Let the buffalo halloumi sit for at least 5 minutes, then top the salad with the halloumi, blue cheese crumbles, and blue cheese dressing. Serve immediately.
Notes
Allow the halloumi to rest in the buffalo sauce for better flavor absorption.
Adjust the level of hot sauce based on your spice preference.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchiness of the salad.
