Preparation
- Begin by washing and drying your mixed bell peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, and red onion. Slice them into the desired shapes—strips, rounds, and thin slices for easy grilling. Halve the cherry tomatoes for even roasting.
- Heat your grill pan or outdoor grill to a medium-high setting. Lightly grease it with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the halloumi slices directly on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn a delightful golden brown.
- Add your prepared vegetables to the grill alongside the halloumi. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until they have nice grill marks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well emulsified.
- Arrange the grilled halloumi and veggies on a large serving platter. Drizzle the dressing generously over the top and garnish with optional nuts or seeds.
