Salade Provençale au Halloumi
with Citrus Salad, Radishes & Wonton Strips
- Milk
- Eggs
- Wheat
For this delightful dinner salad, you'll season cubes of halloumi (a sturdy grilling cheese that crisps up on the outside as it gets melty on the inside) with herbes de Provence and sear them until golden. The seared cheese is set atop a perfectly balanced green salad with peppery radishes and juicy orange slices tossed with a bright Dijon-citrus dressing and garnished with a shower of wonton strips for crunchy contrast.

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Zest and quarter lemon. Zest orange; cut off top and bottom. Set upright on one cut side and remove peel with curved downward cuts, exposing the flesh and removing any remaining white pith; discard peel. Quarter orange and slice into quarter-moons.
Dice grilling cheese into bite-size pieces. Trim and halve radishes; thinly slice crosswise into half-moons. Trim and discard root ends from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon zest, orange zest, dressing, a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings), juice from half the lemon, salt, and pepper.
Spread out herbes de Provence on a plate. Working one piece at a time, press grilling cheese into herbs until fully coated.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add cheese and cook, undisturbed, until browned on one side, 30-60 seconds. Flip cheese; cook on second side until browned, 30-60 seconds more. (For 4 servings, you may need to work in batches.)
Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.
To bowl with citrus dressing, add radishes, lettuce, half the orange, and half the wonton strips; toss until evenly combined. Taste and season with more lemon juice, olive oil, salt, or pepper if desired.
Divide salad between plates; top with grilling cheese, remaining orange, and remaining wonton strips. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

- Suggestions: Try adding more dressing for better coverage. Some preferred walnuts or almonds instead of wonton strips for a more cohesive flavor.
- Portions: A few found it light for dinner; consider adding protein like shrimp or pairing with an appetizer for a fuller meal.

Reviews from our home cooks
I've made Halloumi salads before, but the herb blend made this salad 10x better! Loved the citrusy dressing too as it kept it fresh and was not something I've had before.
This has the potential to be a winner with a few changes. The French herbs were incredible with the grilling cheese, and even went well with the dressing. However, the weird Asian wontons (and even the orange segments) totally threw this off. Use walnuts or even toasted almonds instead to keep it more in line with the French flavors.
Really enjoyed this. We are just now learning about halloumi and totally enjoy it. Next time will cook it in the air fryer.
Really good bistro type salad. There wasn't enough orange for the amount of lettuce, and we definitely needed more sauce.
Absolutely loved this. And we never get non meat meals, so this was new for us! Had to add more Herbs de Provence though to fully cover the cheese cubes.
Good idea but bad execution. Orange was hard to cut and a lot of rind, mandarin oranges would have been better. Also the instructions for the cheese had the heat too high, my cheese melted within 20 seconds and was all stuck together.
This was truly good that cheese was awesome only complaint is there was not enough dressing !!! More dressing would have been great
I never grilled cheese before. Your chefs are so creative and the variety is wonderful. I am learning so much about cooking. Sorry, Mom.
Felt like it could use more protein like shrimp and another vegetable like edamame to make it more filling. Either way it was a lovely summer time salad just wanted it to be more packed with other nutrients to make it more filling.
Great blend of flavors, textures and sweetness for this summer salad. Will get this again for sure !
