Corn Salad With Mango And Halloumi Recipes

CORN SALAD WITH MANGO AND HALLOUMI

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, place the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, cumin and smoked paprika in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Taste, and season with pepper and also more salt if needed.
• To prepare the salad, place the ears of corn on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, massaging to coat.
• Heat a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium-high. When hot, add the corn and allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, so they char. (The ears don't need to be completely blackened, just parts of them.) Set aside. When cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the corn from the ears and add to the bowl with the vinaigrette. When the pan has cooled, wipe it out.
• Pat the halloumi cheese with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Heat the same pan you used for the corn over medium-high. When hot, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the halloumi pieces and cook for 30 to 60 seconds on each side, turning frequently, until they are golden on all sides. Transfer to the bowl with the corn.
• To the bowl, add the mango, cucumbers, mint, cilantro and scallions and toss to combine. Taste and add salt and black pepper to your liking. When you are ready to serve, top with pita chips and toss gently.

CHERRY TOMATO, CORN, AND HALLOUMI SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together lime juice and zest in a large heatproof bowl. In a small skillet, heat 5 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until light golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whiskoil mixture into lime mixture; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 2 tablespoons dressing; add corn and tomatoes to remaining dressing and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Return skillet to medium-high heat and swirl in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add halloumi (be careful; it may splatter) and cook, flipping once, until golden and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Scatter arugula on a serving plate; top with corn-tomato mixture. Serve, with halloumi and reserved dressing on the side.

HALLOUMI WITH CORN, CHERRY TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• In a large, preferably nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high until it thins out, about 20 seconds. Working in batches, add cheese in one layer, and cook until golden on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip cheese and cook without moving until golden on the other side, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining cheese.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat it over medium-high. Add corn, tomatoes, jalapeño, cumin seeds and salt, and cook until corn and tomatoes have softened and everything looks juicy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from the heat and stir in the browned cheese, sliced onion and basil. Squeeze a lime wedge or two over everything and season with more salt and lots of black pepper. Garnish with more basil and serve immediately.
