Grilled Halloumi and Little Gem Salad with Preserved-Lemon Dressing

Halloumi is a firm cheese that originated in Cypress but is increasingly made domestically. Its claim to fame is that it holds its shape when grilled or fried. Preserved lemon, more intense in flavor than fresh lemon, is available in specialty food shops or can be made at home (see related recipe at left).
