Haloumi, Mint and Watermelon Salad


Growing up, we always had Haloumi cheese in the house, coming from a "Cypriot"-South African family, and living amongst a mixture of nationalities, it was not a common food, but it soon became a hit with our friends, we used to grill it and serve it with tzatziki and a wedge of lemon, my dad on the other hand used to eat it uncooked with watermelon and bread, which is also yummy, and when I tried to get my Dutch boyfriend to taste it that way, he really didn't like the taste of the "Raw Haloumi" (his words) and also wasn't sure of the combination with the watermelon, so I decided to try and come up with something to sway his taste buds a bit...  and it worked with this recipe... 


Ingredients

Haloumi cut into thick strips
Watermelon
Sugar Snap Peas
Lettuce

For Dressing:

Olive Oil
Lemon Juice
Mint Leaves
Salt and Pepper




Fry Haloumi on a non stick frying pan (no need to put oil in the pan)
Cool Haloumi

Add Lettuce, Sugar Snap Peas and Watermelon together, when Haloumi has cooled place on top of salad, and add dressing.


Simple as that and enjoy ;)
