We love Halloumi's squeaky texture, but some torn salted mozzarella would be just as good (just don't try grilling it).

Dressing:
5 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill
2 scallions
1 jalapeño
1/2 cup halved pitted Castelvetrano or other green olives
3 tablespoons salted, roasted pistachios
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Assembly:
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 (6)-inch pitas
2 medium eggplants, halved lengthwise (or crosswise if using 1 large eggplant)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill
Kosher salt
1 (8)-ounce package Halloumi cheese
2 large Persian cucumbers or 1 small English hothouse cucumber
1 pound tomatoes, halved, cut into wedges if large
1/2 cup torn mint leaves
1/4 cup dill sprigs

Steps:

  • For the dressing:
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Grill scallions and jalapeño, turning once, until lightly blistered and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes for scallions and 4 minutes for jalapeño. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
  • Slice open jalapeño and scrape out seeds (unless you like things very spicy); discard. Coarsely chop chile and scallions. Mix in a medium bowl with olives, pistachios, lemon juice, vinegar, and 5 Tbsp. oil; season dressing with salt and pepper.
  • Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Assemble the salad:
  • Mix thyme, sesame seeds, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Lightly coat pitas and eggplants with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and rub with thyme mixture. Grill, turning occasionally and moving to a cooler part of grill if needed to avoid scorching, until pitas are golden and crisp and eggplants are browned and tender, 5 minutes for pitas, and 8-10 minutes for eggplants. Transfer to a platter and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, grill Halloumi until charred and soft, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter with pitas and eggplants.
  • Tear pitas and Halloumi into chunky pieces, then cut eggplants into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a large bowl and add cucumbers, tomatoes, and dressing. Give everything a good toss to bring it all together; season with salt. Top with mint leaves and dill sprigs.

FATTOUSH SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN



Fattoush Salad with Grilled Chicken image

Traditional fattoush salad, which originated in the Middle East, is a flavorful combination of fried or toasted pita bread, fresh seasonal herbs and vegetables. Here, grilled chicken adds a boost of lean protein, and for those of you who can't eat gluten, I've swapped the pita for gluten-free pizza crust. Mix in some crisp bell peppers and cucumbers tossed with arugula and fresh Italian parsley, and top it all off with creamy feta cheese and Lemon-Oregano Vinaigrette for a delicious and nourishing one-bowl meal.

Provided by EA Stewart

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about half a lemon)
2 tablespoons white or golden balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups baby arugula
1 1/2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
One 8- or 9-inch gluten-free pizza crust, defrosted if frozen
2 grilled chicken breasts, sliced
1 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • For the lemon-oregano vinaigrette: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano and salt and pepper to taste in a small jar. Cover, shake well and set aside.
  • For the salad: Put the arugula in a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes, parsley, cucumber and peppers and toss well.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the olive oil over the pizza crust, distributing it on both sides. Place the crust in the skillet and heat for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn. Remove and cut into approximately 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Put the chicken and crust pieces on top of the salad. Add the feta and pour the vinaigrette over the top. Toss well before serving.

Toasting the pita adds crunch and a sprinkle of ground sumac-which grows wild all over Lebanon-adds depth. Let the salad sit for a bit to let the pita soak up the lemony dressing.
