Servings: 4

Ingredients

Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Fresh basil (1/4 cup, chopped)
Fresh lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Halloumi cheese (8 ounces, sliced)
Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
Red onion (1 medium, sliced)
Bell peppers (2, sliced (any color))
Zucchini (1 medium, sliced)

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
In the meantime, grill the halloumi cheese slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly melted. Be sure to watch closely to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the vegetables and halloumi cheese from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled vegetables and halloumi with fresh basil before serving hot.
