Halloumi, Watermelon, and Mint Salad image

Halloumi cheese and fresh, juicy watermelon are a fantastic salty-sweet pair. In Cyprus, fresh halloumi slices are served with watermelon for breakfast or dessert, but I think frying the halloumi and adding mint increases the flavor and makes a delightful summer salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover watermelon. I had some watermelon that was about to go bad, and this salad was the perfect way to use it up.

I wasn't sure about the combination of watermelon and halloumi, but it totally works! The sweetness of the watermelon balances out the saltiness of the halloumi.

I've never had halloumi before, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked in this salad. It was grilled perfectly and had a nice chewy texture.
