Grilled Halloumi & Vegetable Skewers with Lemon-Mint Dressing
Cyprus's famous grilling cheese turns golden and squeaky on the grill, skewered with zucchini, peppers, red onion and cherry tomatoes and drizzled with a lemon-mint dressing. A vegetarian favorite.

- 2 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped
Directions
- Thread the halloumi and vegetables onto skewers and brush lightly with half the oil.

💡 Lighter tip: Halloumi is salty, so there's no need to add salt. Serve with a quinoa or couscous salad to make it a full dinner.
