Halloumi Three-Bean Salad With Pomegranate-Harissa Vinaigrette - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    7 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 1-inch slabs
    2 tablespoons pomegranate vinegar
    1 tablespoon honey
    1 1/2 teaspoons harissa, or more to taste
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
    1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 cup kidney beans, drained and rinsed
    1 cup white beans, drained and rinsed
    1/3 cup chopped red onion
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Preparation
    Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook each halloumi slab on all 4 sides, about 5 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool slightly; cut into 1/4-inch cubes.
    While cheese is cooking, whisk pomegranate vinegar, honey, harissa, olive oil, and black pepper together in a dressing jar. Set aside.
    Combine black beans, kidney beans, white beans, onion, mint, and coriander in a bowl and toss with a spoon. Add cooked halloumi. Drizzle vinaigrette dressing over salad and toss to coat. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes.
