Instructions

1. 1Prepare the vegetables and cheese: Cut the about 225 g of Halloumi Cheese into 2.54 cm cubes. Cut the 1 medium Zucchini into 2.54 cm pieces. Cut the 1 medium Red Bell Pepper into 2.54 cm pieces. Cut the 1 medium Red Onion into 2.54 cm pieces.
2. 2Assemble the skewers: Thread the 2.54 cm cubes of Halloumi Cheese, 2.54 cm pieces of Zucchini, 2.54 cm pieces of Red Bell Pepper, 2.54 cm pieces of Red Onion, and the 1 pint of Cherry Tomatoes onto skewers. Alternate the ingredients to ensure even distribution, aiming for about 4-5 pieces of each ingredient per skewer.
3. 3Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of Olive Oil, the finely chopped 2 tablespoons of Fresh Mint, the 2 tablespoons of Lemon Juice, the minced 1 clove of Garlic, the 1/4 teaspoon of Salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of Pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined.
4. 4Preheat the grill: Turn on your grill and preheat it to a medium heat setting, which is approximately 190°C.
5. 5Grill the skewers: Carefully place the prepared skewers directly onto the preheated grill. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the skewers every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking. The skewers are done when the about 225 g of Halloumi Cheese is golden brown and slightly softened, and the vegetables (1 medium Zucchini, 1 medium Red Bell Pepper, 1 medium Red Onion, 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes) are tender with light char marks.
6. 6Serve the dish: Remove the grilled skewers from the grill. Drizzle the prepared mint-lemon dressing evenly over all the skewers and serve immediately.
