Slice the halloumi cheese into 1 cm (about 1/3 inch) thick pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and pan-fry the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Add them to a large serving bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into half-moons, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these to the bowl with the greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Add the pan-fried halloumi slices on top of the salad. Sprinkle with chopped fresh mint leaves and toasted pine nuts for garnish.
