Everyone knows a good salad is all in the vinaigrette, and don’t get me wrong, this one’s great; but here, it’s all about the flavor and textural contrast between the salty, seared Halloumi cheese and sweet, juicy nectarines. The fattoush-inspired dressing features pomegranate molasses and sumac for a bright yet earthy flavor that complements the fresh herbs, crunchy radishes, and slightly spicy red onions. —Zaynab Issa
