Halloumi and Grilled Vegetable Green Salad

Halloumi and Grilled Vegetable Green Salad is a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for a warm summer evening. It's made with grilled halloumi cheese, grilled vegetables, and avocado, and it's tossed in a simple dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Halloumi is a grilling cheese made from sheep's or goat's milk. It originated in Cyprus, and it's typically made by combining goat's milk with sheep's milk, then adding rennet and allowing it to coagulate. The resulting curd is then cut into pieces and heated, which causes it to fuse together and form a cheese. Halloumi has a high melting point, so it can be grilled without crumbling. This makes it a popular ingredient in grilled dishes, such as this salad.
