We loved this dish. Instead of serving it as a salad I omitted the spinach and served as a hot vegetable dish. I halved the recipe and used my grill wok so that I wouldn't lose veggies to the fire. Since there wasn't room to cook them in a single layer it took about 10 minutes to cook them all. The grilled halloumi was really good, too. It gives another meaning to 'grilled cheese'.

I decided to replace the ingredients with what I had at home. Doubling most of the veggies as we will need these tomorrow for my DS lunch at school.<br/>Instead of 2 zucchini and 1 red bell pepper I used 2 green, 2 yellow and 2 red bell peppers; instead of baby spinach I used romana salad cut into strips.<br/>After tossing all the vegetables together I cooked the red peppers and the onion under the broiler and both eggplants in the chargrill pan. After removing the eggplants from the chargrill pan I prepared the halloumi.<br/>During this time I added some fresh parsley and cilantro from the garden (they are still alive before the winter!).<br/>The preparation and cooking time was more than forseen because I doulbed the veggies, I had to preare them, cook them (I have a only 12 inch pan) and heat the oven. In any case this great dinner was on the table in 40 minutes and I enjoyed this festive meal. <br/>Thanks a lot for this great recipe.<br/>As soon as
