Grilled Scallops and Halloumi with Lemon-Oregano Vinaigrette

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.
