A cow and sheep’s milk cheese from Cyprus, Halloumi has a dense texture and low moisture content so it holds up well to high heat cooking. The cheese’s salty flavor melds beautifully with sweet grilled scallops and a bright, lemony oregano vinaigrette.

Ingredients
Method
Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of the oil, lemon juice, oregano, a pinch of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Set vinaigrette aside.
Brush scallops and cheese with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
Season scallops with remaining salt and pepper.
Grill scallops and cheese, flipping once, until lightly browned and slightly firm, but still springy to the touch, about 3 minutes per side.
Place lettuce leaves on 4 salad plates.
Top with scallops and cheese, dividing evenly, and drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
