DRESSING
½ cup Greek-style yoghurt 1 small clove garlic, crushed

1 Preheat barbecue with grill bars over high heat. Once the barbecue is scorching hot, add avocado to grill bars, flesh-side down. Cook for 2 minutes until slightly charred and warmed through. 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.
