Ingredients

  • 1 loaf sourdough bread cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 8 ounces halloumi cheese
  • 4 cups chopped romaine
  • 2 cup torn radicchio lettuce
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 blood oranges, segmented
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup pistachios, chopped

blood orange vinaigrette

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet. Toss them with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are just toasted. Set the cubes aside to cool.
  • While the bread toasts, make the halloumi. Slice the halloumi into strips (I like them about ¼ to ½ inch thick) and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the halloumi in a single layer and sear until it’s golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Then flip and sear the other side. Transfer the halloumi to a plate. You can cut or tear it into pieces here for the salad. Your preference!
  • Assemble the salad. In a large bowl or plate, combine the romaine, radicchio, radish, red onion and oranges. Drizzle on some dressing and toss a few times. Add in the halloumi and pistachios, tossing one more.
  • Serve with additional dressing as desired. Enjoy!!

blood orange vinaigrette

  • Whisk together the juice, vinegar, garlic, dijon and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. This stays great in the fridge for a few days!
