Barbecued Peach Salad Recipe with Vinaigrette Dressing

Barbecued peaches are usually served sweet as a dessert, but they work brilliantly in this lovely summery salad.  The BBQ brings out the richness and depth of flavour and the residual sweetness works beautifully with the salty halloumi.  Our girls love this dish.
