Caramelized Plum and Grilled Haloumi Salad

Next time I go to Trader Joe's, I'm gonna get some Haloumi and make this:
(serves 4)

2 T. + 1 t. honey, divided
2 plums, halved and cut into 8 wedges
1 T. rice vinegar
1 t. Dijon mustard
2 T. fresh lemon juice, divided
2 T. EVOO, plus extra
3 T. fresh garlic* chives, chopped and divided (I'll snip these from my farm)
Coarse* sea* salt, and freshly ground pepper
1/2 lb. Haloumi cheese, cut into four 1/2" thick slices
5 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, sorrel, etc.)
1&1/2 t. fresh oregano, chopped
2 T. fresh, small lemon* basil leaves, chopped

In a large frying pan, cook 2 T. honey over med.-high heat, swirling pan occasionally, until slightly darker in cour, about 1 min. Add plums and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize, about 5-6 mins. Transfer plums to a plate. For dressing, in a bowl, whisk together rice vinegar with remaining 1 t. honey, Dijon, and 1 T. lemon juice. Slowly whisk in oil until emulsified. Stir in 2 T. chives and season to taste with S&P. Preheat grill to med.-high heat. Drizzle both sides of cheese slices with some extra oil, and season with S&P. Grill, about 1 min. per side, or until grill marks appear. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with remaining 1 T. lemon juice, some oil, and sprinkle with oregano. Cut each slice on the diagonal to create triangles. In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with 2 T. of dressing. Mound salad on individual serving plates or on a big platter. Top with plums and cheese. Drizzle salad with remaining dressing and garnish with basil and 1 T. chives. Serve immediately, and dine Al Fresco!!!

Honor your promises today (and always).
