Instructions
Making Halloumi and Watermelon Salad is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Halloumi: Slice the halloumi cheese into about 1/2-inch thick pieces.
2. Heat the Grill or Skillet: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. You may lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Halloumi: Place the halloumi slices on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Prepare the Watermelon: While the halloumi is grilling, cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes or wedges.
5. Mix Greens and Herbs: In a large bowl, combine the arugula (or mixed greens), chopped mint, and basil.
6. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), salt, and pepper.
7. Combine Ingredients: Add the grilled halloumi and watermelon to the bowl with greens. Drizzle with the dressing and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
8. Serve Immediately: Transfer to a serving plate or bowl, garnishing with additional herbs if desired.
These simple steps ensure that your Halloumi and Watermelon Salad is vibrant and delightful every time!
