Honey sesame halloumi spinach salad

Golden slices of warm, honey-glazed halloumi crown this simple spinach-and-chickpea salad. Briny halloumi is balanced by a sweet honey glaze, and the crispy, crunchy exterior contrasts with the warm and melty center. Nutty notes swim throughout the dish, in both the sesame seeds and the lemon-tahini dressing that gets tossed with spinach, cherry tomatoes and canned chickpeas. Like most salads, this one invites creativity: Pickled red onions, sliced scallions (cooked in the pan with the halloumi or tossed in raw) or fresh mint or basil would all complement the flavors of the dish.
