Watermelon and grilled halloumi salad with mint on a platter

Method

  1. 1

    Arrange the watermelon cubes over a large platter and scatter with mint.

  2. 2

    Whisk the lime juice, zest and olive oil into a dressing.

  3. 3

    Grill or pan-fry the halloumi sticks for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.

  4. 4

    Lay the warm halloumi over the watermelon, drizzle with the lime dressing and finish with chilli flakes.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately, while the halloumi is still warm and the watermelon cold.

Tip · Dress the salad only once the halloumi is on top — watermelon releases water quickly and you want the plate crisp, not soupy.
