quarter of a large onion
optional
Cut the watermelon into cubes, chop the tomato into pieces, slice the red onion into thin strips, and finely chop the fresh mint leaves.
Slice the halloumi into pieces and pat them thoroughly with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture.
Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook until golden brown on both sides. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chilli flakes (if using), then continue cooking until the halloumi is well grilled and caramelised.
Arrange the watermelon cubes, tomato pieces, red onion slices, and chopped mint on a serving plate.
Season the salad with sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Top the salad with the warm, grilled halloumi pieces.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavourful salad.
For an extra burst of flavour, try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the dressing.
If you don't have fresh mint, fresh basil or parsley can be a good substitute.
Ensure the halloumi is patted dry before frying to achieve a crispier exterior.
