Watermelon and Haloumi Salad




A lovely summer lunch or supper dish which is really refreshing on a hot day. Alternatively crank up the heating and shut all the windows and you might be able to recreate the temperatures needed in the UK to make this work as it should...

For 3-4 portions you need:
1/4 watermelon, deseeded and cut into rough chunks
1 packet haloumi, patted dry and cut into thickish slices
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
juice 1 lemon
handful fresh mint, roughly chopped
salt and pepper
Salad leaves

Cook the haloumi until softened and nicely browned. Meanwhile place the lemon, mint and onions into a bowl to allow the onion flavour to be mellowed by the juice. Add the melon and oil and mix gently. Place the salad leaves on a plate, arrange the watermelon and onion salad on top and finish with slices of the hot, browned haloumi. Delicious!
