Halloumi and Watermelon Salad
Jul 28, 2025 02:08 AM
This halloumi and watermelon salad is an incredibly simple combination but one that has a fantastic mix of contrasting flavors and textures. It's quick, easy, tasty and perfect for summer.
Watermelon is one of those fruits that absolutely screams summer. It's so incredibly refreshing, being mainly water after all, and with that light fresh flavor. As a result, it's something that many enjoy as a snack on warmer days.
In Cyprus, it's pretty common to serve watermelon and halloumi together as a snack. The combination of salty cheese and sweet, juicy fruit is such a great contrast and just what you need on those warm Mediterranean days.
This salad makes a couple of slight additions and tweaks to the combination to make it slightly fancier-feeling but still with very little effort required.
