Ingredients

• 6 servings pepper black freshly ground
• 5 tablespoons wine dry white
• 2 tablespoons thyme sprigs fresh packed
• 8 ounces halloumi cheese cut into 12 pieces
• 3 medium baby greens halved lengthwise
• 20  kalamata olives 
• 6 servings kosher salt 
• 5 tablespoons juice of lemon freshly squeezed (from 2 medium lemons)
• 6 servings olive oil for coating the grill grates
• 0.3 cup oregano fresh packed (leaves and tender stems only)
• 0.5 medium onion red peeled sliced cut into 6 wedges
• 3 medium roma tomatoes quartered
• 0.5 medium onion yellow peeled halved

Equipment

• bowl
• grill
• skewers

Directions

1. Heat a grill to medium (about 350°F to 450°F) and rub the grates with a towel dipped in olive oil.
2. Combine the tomatoes, cheese, and onion in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Add 1/2 cup of the marinade and gently toss to coat. Reserve the remaining marinade.Thread 1 tomato quarter, 1 piece of halloumi, and 1 onion wedge onto a skewer, followed by another tomato quarter and another piece of halloumi. Repeat to make 6 skewers.
4. Place the skewers in a large, shallow dish, pour any marinade in the bowl over the skewers, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes and up to 12 hours.
5. Remove the skewers from the dish, allowing any excess marinade to drip away before placing them on the grill. Cover the grill and cook, turning the skewers every 2 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and charred and the cheese is soft, about 6 to 8 minutes total.About 3 minutes before the skewers are finished, brush the romaine with olive oil, season it with salt and pepper, and place it cut-side down on the grill. Cook until slightly wilted and charred on the cut side, about 3 minutes.To serve, transfer the grilled romaine, kebabs, and olives (if using) to a large serving platter. (If desired, remove the cheese and vegetables from the skewers and chop all of the salad ingredients.)
6. Drizzle a few tablespoons of the remaining marinade over the salad, passing any leftover marinade on the side.
