Halloumi and Watermelon Salad

This refreshing salad is a perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. The sweet watermelon and salty halloumi cheese are a delicious combination, and the red onion and mint add a bit of zest. The dressing is simple but flavorful, and it helps to bring all of the flavors together.

I first had this salad at a restaurant in Cyprus, and I was immediately hooked. The combination of sweet watermelon, salty halloumi, and fresh mint was so refreshing and delicious. I've been making this salad at home ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
