Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper (optional for easy clean up).

Step 2

Cut the halloumi into small cubes, about 1/2" each. Spread them out on the baking sheet along with the pecans. Bake for 10 minutes or until the halloumi is warm and the pecans are toasted.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette. Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallot, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Whisk to emulsify or shake in a tightly sealed container.

Step 4

Place the greens, apples, and cranberries in a large bowl. Top with the warm halloumi and pecans and toss with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to your desired taste. Serve warm.
