Lightly spray the halloumi, red bell pepper, and zucchini slices with olive oil on both sides.
Season the halloumi and vegetables with salt and black pepper.
Place the halloumi, red bell pepper, and zucchini slices on the grill. Grill each side for 2-3 minutes or until you see nice grill marks and the vegetables have softened slightly.
While the cheese and vegetables are grilling, slice the tomato into thin rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Toast the whole-wheat hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each hamburger bun.
Add a lettuce leaf, followed by a grilled halloumi slice, tomato slice, grilled bell pepper, and zucchini on top.
Finish with a dash of lemon juice and place the top half of the bun on each burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low-fat grilled halloumi burgers!
