Next, cook the halloumi by placing directly onto the grill bars and cooking for 1 to 2 minutes each side until golden brown. Allow avocado to cool slightly, remove from skin and slice into thick wedges. 2 For the tabouleh, gently toss together all ingredient­s and set aside until ready to serve. Next, make the dressing by combining all ingredient­s in a small bowl. Place in the fridge until needed.

3 Spoon out tabouleh mix into a large serving bowl or platter, top with avocado and halloumi, and a generous drizzle of the garlic dressing.
