Halloumi, watermelon & mint salad

Halloumi and watermelon salad from Cyprus

This refreshing salad features the god of all Cypriot exports: the halloumi cheese. The watermelon and fresh mint offer a zingy background to the salty, warm, griddled cheese, and all of the flavours create a wonderful mouthful of summer. Best topped off with some freshly squeezed lemon juice for a final kick of heaven.
