Charred Corn and Tomato Salad with Halloumi Cheese

 

1 lemon, halved

1/4 cup fresh tarragon

2½ tbsp olive oil, divided

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/4 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper

8 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise

2 ears corn, husked

4 oz halloumi cheese, cut in ¼-inch-thick slices

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

1 green onion, thinly sliced

 

Preparation

 

  1. Heat a grill to medium-high and brush grates with cooking oil. Place lemon halves, cut sides down, on grill. Close lid and grill until lemon is grill-marked, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool enough to handle. Squeeze juice from lemon into a small bowl; discard lemon.
  2. Prepare dressing: In a small food processor, blend lemon juice, tarragon, 1½ tbsp olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Brush tomatoes, corn and halloumi all over with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Place corn on grill. Close lid and grill, turning often, until bright yellow and grill-marked, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool enough to handle.
  4. Meanwhile, place halloumi on grill. Close lid and grill, turning once, until grill-marked, about 4 minutes. Place tomatoes, cut side down, on grill. Close lid and grill, without turning, until slightly softened and grill-marked, about 2 minutes.
  5. Halve each tomato piece lengthwise to make wedges. Cut kernels from corn. Divide tomatoes and avocado among plates. Top with corn, halloumi, onion and dressing.
