This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of halloumi, but this dish was really good. The lemon-herb sauce was especially tasty.

The halloumi was a bit too rubbery for my liking. I think I would grill it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The halloumi was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. The lemon and herbs added a wonderful flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
