Method
 

Steps
  1. In a small saucepan, combine honey, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Warm over low heat for about 3 minutes, stirring gently. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Set aside.
  3. Slice the red onion and soak in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Tear mint and basil leaves, then spread arugula on a large platter.
  4. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush peaches with olive oil and grill cut-side down for about 3 minutes. Flip and grill skin-side down for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Heat the grill pan again and grill halloumi slices for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Layer the salad with red onions, torn herbs, caramelized peaches, and golden halloumi. Drizzle with dressing and spoon hot honey on top. Sprinkle with pistachios and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve immediately while the halloumi is warm. Enjoy fresh for a delightful experience.

Pat halloumi dry before grilling for a perfect crust. Grill just before serving for best texture. Prep components in advance but keep separate to maintain freshness.
