Preparation

Preheat oven to 500 °F (260 °C).

Spread out Halloumi cheese on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Grill in the oven for 5–7 minutes.

Stove top (alternate) cooking method for the Halloumi: heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Grill the Halloumi, for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese turns a light golden brown. Cut grilled Halloumi into cubes.

In a large bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients, toss and serve with the grilled Halloumi.
