Watermelon Halloumi Salad

Prep: 15 min
Cook: 5 min
Total: 20 min
Serves: 4

Ingredients

Salad

2 packs halloumi (about 16 oz), cubed and seared
10–12 watermelon cubes
2 English cucumbers, cubed

Za'atar Dressing

3 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Honey

A splash of White balsamic
Pinch of Salt
2 tsp Za’atar
Fresh chopped mint (to taste)

Instructions

Step 1Sear halloumi in a hot pan (no oil needed) for 1–2 min per side until golden. Don’t overcook, just enough to get it crispy and soft inside
Step 2Arrange watermelon, cucumber, and halloumi into a grid (5 across, 7 down for that satisfying layout) or toss it all together if you’re going casual
Step 3Drizzle with dressing, add extra mint and za’atar, and serve right away
