- 2 lemons
- 1/2 pound Haloumi cheese
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 (3/4-inch-thick) slices peasant or country-style bread
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
- Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over moderately high heat.
- Cut 8 thin slices from lemons, then squeeze enough juice from remainder to measure 2 tablespoons and put in a bowl.
- Halve cheese diagonally, then cut each triangle, cut side down, into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using side of a large heavy knife, then add to lemon juice. Whisk in salt and sugar until dissolved, then add 1/4 cup oil, whisking until combined.
- Separately toss lemon slices and cheese each with 1/2 tablespoon dressing.
- Brush both sides of bread with remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
- Grill bread, cheese, and lemon slices on grill rack, covered, turning over once (use a metal spatula to scrape under cheese to loosen before turning), until bread is toasted (2 to 3 minutes total), grill marks appear on cheese (3 to 4 minutes total), and lemons begin to wilt (4 to 6 minutes total).
- Whisk dill into remaining dressing. Divide bread among 4 small plates and top with cheese and lemon slices. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
