There are certain recipes that just taste like summer, and this is one of them.
Cold, juicy watermelon, crisp cucumbers, salty fried halloumi, fresh mint and a little jalapeño for heat; all finished with lots of fresh lime juice and a drizzle of honey.
It’s sweet, salty, tangy, a little spicy, and so refreshing. It’s also one of those recipes that doesn’t really require exact measurements. Just add everything to a big platter, taste as you go, and make it your own.
Ingredients
- Watermelon, cubed
- Cucumbers, sliced or chopped
- Halloumi, sliced
- Fresh mint leaves
- Jalapeño, thinly sliced
- Fresh lime juice
- Honey, for drizzling
How to make it
- Start by slicing your halloumi and frying it in a hot pan for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden and slightly crispy.
- Add the watermelon and cucumbers to a large bowl or serving platter. Scatter the fresh mint and sliced jalapeño throughout, then top with the warm fried halloumi.
- Squeeze plenty of fresh lime juice over everything and finish with a light drizzle of honey.
Notes
That’s it. 🍉☀️
I love how the warm, salty halloumi plays against the cold watermelon, while the jalapeño gives it just enough heat. The lime and honey tie everything together without needing a traditional dressing.
Serve it right away while the halloumi is still warm and the watermelon is cold. The perfect salad for these last warm days of summer.
