- Place fresh blueberries in a heatproof container (I used a canning jar) and pour brine over them. Cover and refrigerate 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Drain blueberries, reserving pickling vinegar.
- Slice Halloumi cheese into strips and heat over low heat in a nonstick skillet until golden, turning to brown all sides.
- Divide lettuces among salad plates, layering cheese pieces on top along with drained blueberries, shaved red onion slivers, and pistachio nuts.
- Whisk extra virgin olive oil into the pickling vinegar until emulsified, seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste (if desired). Serve dressing over salad.
