  Fantastic, always goes down well as a salad at a BBQ, with meat-eaters and veggies alike!

  This is a firm favourite in our house. I don't use all of the oil in the dressing and it's still fab. We use a griddle pan rather than a frying pan so the courgettes and cheese look fab with the char-stripes!

  I absolutely love this dish, however, I found the quantinties are just crazy as for as the dressing goes: you can kill someone with your breath after putting 2 cloves of garlic in, and there's way too much oil too, it takes over all other flavours! I just mix equal quantities of olive oil and lime/lemon juice (tasting to make sure neither is overpowering), add a pinch of sugar and A PINCH OF POWDERED GARLIC INSTEAD OF 2 CLOVES. That's much better imo :)

  Also, sometimes I find it quicker to just roast the vegetables rather than frying them (so you don't have tu turn them over and it may also save some fat ;p) and it tastes just as good.

  oh, it was so good, I had to come straight on here to leave a comment. I really enjoyed it. I added a mild chilli to the veg and roasted instead of fried. I also added a teaspoon of harissa to the dressing as suggested above. It was delicious! I'm looking forward to barbeque season so I can show it off to people.

  Made this twice this week. First, cold for my birthday party and again last night, warm for supper. Reason for twice in one week? It went so quickly even though I tripled the quantity that I didn't even taste it on Saturday. Last night added pointy rep pepper-delicious. Especially loved by vegetarian daughter.

  Just did a quickie version of this recepie to go with oven baked salmon portion. It was quick and the dressing was delicious though I did'nt use fresh mint, only dried as it wasnt planned. Next time will def do it properly adding chickpeas and Haloumi, lush!...Good for adding whatever summer seasonal veg you feel like too.

  Tasty dish. I added some chopped peppers too. Think I will add red onion and grill veggies next time as suggested by others as will be less greasy. Looking forward to leftovers for lunch toorrow

  Lovely stuff. Very simple and I felt full and healthy afterwards. I added some crispy chicken on top as I was hungry and it worked really well.

  Amazing. The second try I used aubergine and courgette and increased the quantity by 1/3, reduced the amount of chickpeas and cous cous by 1/3, and halved the quantity of halloumi. I roasted the vegetables instead of frying them. I think the secret to this recipe is the phenomenal dressing. (I used lemon rather than buying a lime and it was still spectacular.)

  Outrageously tasty and really impressive-looking, but so quick and easy (and only one pan!). Brilliant recipe, really pleased with it.

  Very easy and quick, was great for pot luck. Think I will possibly add aubergine and/or chicken next time.

  I only used around 100ml of oil and I think it was a bit too much. I didn't add the sugar either. I really like it, but my partner hate it, so that is why I only put 3 stars....sorry
