  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • to taste black pepper
  • 3 ears of corn, husks removed
  • 2 (8-ounce) blocks halloumi cheese, drained and cut into ¾-inch cubes
  • 3 Persian or mini cucumbers (about ½ pound), unpeeled, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup chopped mint leaves
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 scallions, finely sliced
  • 3 ounces pita chips, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette. Set aside.
  3. Grill the corn for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.
  4. While the corn is cooling, grill the halloumi cheese cubes for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy. Remove from the grill.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn, halloumi, cucumbers, mint, cilantro, and scallions.
  6. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Season with additional kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Top with crumbled pita chips just before serving for added crunch.
