For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the nectarine slices before adding them to the salad. If you don't have halloumi cheese, feta or goat cheese can be used as a substitute. To save time, the vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Savor the delightful contrast of flavors and textures in this vibrant salad. Creamy, golden-brown halloumi cheese perfectly complements the sweetness of nectarines, the freshness of spinach, and the crunchy bite of red onion and bell pepper. A honey-Dijon vinaigrette ties it all together in a symphony of taste.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and dried basil until well combined. Set the vinaigrette aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, gently toss half of the prepared vinaigrette with the baby spinach, sliced nectarine, toasted sliced almonds, thinly sliced red onion, and thinly sliced red bell pepper until the ingredients are lightly coated. (5 minutes)
03
StepHeat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi cheese strips to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until the undersides are golden brown and any released liquid has evaporated, approximately 4 minutes. Carefully flip the halloumi slices and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1 minute more. (5 minutes)
04
StepDivide the spinach and nectarine salad among individual plates. Top each serving with the warm, pan-fried halloumi slices. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the salads. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)

Apr 27, 2025So easy to make and it tastes like something you'd get at a fancy restaurant. The only change I made was adding a sprinkle of chili flakes for a little kick.
