Grilled Asparagus and Halloumi Salad with Harissa Vinaigrette
Grilling season is here! Time to celebrate with fresh, seasonal, simple meals!
When I think of grilling, I always think of outdoor barbecues and sunshine. Good friends, good food, good drinks, and always a good time. Keeping things simple is important, so you aren’t stuck cooking next to the barbecue, when you could be socializing and enjoying company instead.
This salad is as easy and delicious as it gets. Toss the fresh asparagus in olive oil and salt and pepper, and grill along with the cheese. In the meantime, prepare the 3-ingredient vinaigrette and chop a few herbs.
Voila! A killer grilled salad loaded with earthy asparagus, spicy flavor, salty cheese, and bright herbs. Doesn’t get much better than this at your next barbecue!
