  This is a great quick and easy summer recipe, I let the halloumi marinade in the dressing for 10-15 min first. Also have used just courgettes mushrooms, red peppers and red onion, for the "veggies" in the recipe.

  This is a keeper. A wonderful change for vegetarians or meat eaters as well. I add a teaspoon of harrissa to the dressing and it makes it even better.

  Great salad, perfect for barbeques, and a lovely main meal as well.

  Absolutely loved this! The combination of flavours is fantastic! I threw in some green beans that needed using up and only used half the oil suggested, 125ml seemed a bit excessive, and it was still totally delicious and even the kids liked it (except the courgette :-)!

  Love this recipe! The halloumi is delicious. I use aubergine instead of courgettes simply because I prefer them and that works perfectly well too. I will try adding harissa next time as some of the other readers have suggested.

  This is a great additional recipe when you've got extra guests coming at short notice ! I find using a griddle pan ensures you get that summer alfresco taste and you also use less oil.

  This was really delicious. I served it as part of a barbecue and there would have been enough for eight. Looking forward to the leftovers today!

  This was amazing! So tasty! I had my parents over for Sunday lunch in the garden, we had this with roast chicken and it was a really nice combination. Will definately be having it again!
