Prepare the salad by washing and chopping up everything before drizzling the salad dressing on top.
How you cook the halloumi is up to you; for this recipe, I fried it for a couple of minutes on each side until it was golden brown, but you can cook it in the oven, air fryer, or, if you are having a bbq, cook it on there before adding it to a salad.
Serve the salad with some croutons, toast slices, or just as it is.
