Ingredients

Halloumi, a firm cheese that's milder than feta, holds its shape and becomes gorgeously golden when seared-like cheesy croutons! They make a special addition to this Mediterranean salad.
1 cup couscous
1 large bunch Italian parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped English cucumber
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
6 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 (8-oz.) package halloumi cheese, cut into 3/4" cubes
1 (4-oz.) package baby lettuce
Halloumi Couscous Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Directions

Cook couscous according to package directions. Transfer couscous to a large bowl, fluff with a fork and let cool slightly. Add parsley, tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, mint, 4 tablespoons oil, vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until well combined. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12" nonstick skillet on medium. Add halloumi and sear 5 minutes per side, until golden.
In a medium bowl, toss baby lettuce with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with pepper. Divide lettuce, couscous mixture and halloumi croutons among 4 bowls.
