Grilled Haloumi And Watermelon Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Set up your grill for direct heat by spreading the coals evenly along the bottom. On each skewer, alternately thread the halloumi and watermelon. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Place on the grill and char, about 1 minute. Flip and char the other side for 30 to 40 seconds. You are looking for grill marks on the watermelon and for the halloumi to get slightly soft. Remove to a platter and drizzle with hot honey. Sprinkle mint over the top and serve.

Steps:

• Place the shallot and garlic in a mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Add the vinegar and honey and whisk. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil, then add the almonds and mint.
• Place the watermelon in a shallow dish. Pour the dressing on top, cover and let marinate 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sear the halloumi 1 minute per side, then remove from the pan; top each with a piece of marinated watermelon.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for medium high heat; brush grates with oil.
• Combine grated zest from 1 lime, juice from 2 limes, garlic, jalapeno, salt, sugar and whisk until sugar is dissolved; whisk in 1/4 cup oil to emulsify, then stir in capers.
• Arrange watermelon slices on a large platter.
• Halve cheese, diagonally, then cut each half (cut side down) into 3 thin slices; brush cheese with oil and grill until golden and grill marked, about 2 minutes per side.
• halve the grilled cheese slices and scatter among the watermelon on the platter.
• Spoon dressing over all and top with spicy sprouts.

Steps:

• Halve the watermelon lengthways. Slice into eighths, cut away the skin and pith and then slice into 1cm thick slices to make small triangles. Place the melon in a large bowl and add all the herbs.
• Heat a griddle pan until very hot and griddle the halloumi slices for 30 secs on each side until well browned. Cool for a few moments before adding to the salad.
• Whisk the lemon juice and olive oil together and season to taste. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately with griddled or toasted Italian bread.

Steps:

• Cut the watermelon into either cubes or slices and transfer to a bowl with the shallots. Add 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and the balsamic, then season with fresh black pepper. Cover and put in the fridge for about 15-20 mins.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Fry the breadcrumbs until turning gold. Add the garlic, chilli and capers and cook for another minute, then toss in the almonds. Remove from the heat, add the torn mint (it will wilt a little), then taste - it will be quite salty, but the watermelon won't be, so you'll get a good contrast.
• Brush the halloumi with a little oil and heat a griddle pan. Griddle the cheese on both sides until just starting to melt but still holding its shape, with nice golden griddle marks. Toss the cold watermelon and shallots with the rest of the mint leaves and some salt. Divide between four plates, or pile onto a platter. Put the hot halloumi on top. Squeeze over some lemon juice and top with some of the breadcrumb and caper mix. Serve immediately.
