Halloumi Watermelon Bulgur Salad Recipes

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:

• 1. Heat 1-inch vegetable oil in a small saucepan to 350 degrees F. Fry the cheese until golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds, turning often. Remove to paper towels to drain.
• 2. Just before serving, toss the cheese in a large bowl with the watermelon and celery. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over high heat. Fry the cheese, turning occasionally, until golden brown on at least two sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• To make the dressing, add 10 to 12 mint leaves, 10 to 12 basil leaves, 1/4 cup olive oil and some salt to a small food processor. Blend until smooth.
• Arrange the watermelon cubes and halloumi on a platter. Drizzle with some of the dressing and garnish with more mint and basil leaves. Serve with grilled bread and extra dressing on the side.

Steps:

• Break halloumi cheese into small pieces. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add halloumi and cook and stir until golden, about 3 minutes.
• Toss watermelon cubes, mint leaves, onion slices, and fried halloumi in a salad bowl.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Lay the cheese on a baking tray in a single layer, then grill for 2 mins on each side until golden. Toss the watermelon, beans and mint together with the lemon juice and olive oil, season well, then layer on plates with the slices of halloumi.
• Drizzle with a little more oil if you like, and then serve with warm pittas.
