HALLOUM WATERMELON SALAD

As the weather gets hotter, my cravings for watermelon spike. And rather than keeping the watermelon for the end of the meal, we’re bringing it to the start of the meal as a salad. Usually you’ll find fetta cheese in watermelon salads, that’s soft and cute, but pan-fried cubes of halloum cheese is just devilishly good, and that’s the flavor profile we are going for. The halloum cheese has a salty profile to contrast well with the sweet watermelon. When it’s pan-fired, it has a deliciously crunchy exterior and soft inside. For something extra, top the salad with your favorite toasted nuts (I use pine seeds) and herbs (I use mint leaves).
