Course: Salads
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 16 oz halloumi cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 4 cups arugula packed
  • 1/3 cup almond flakes
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
  • a pinch of salt preferably sea salt flakes or kosher salt
  • a pinch of black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  • Toast the almond flakes in a dry frying pan on medium-high heat for a couple of minutes until golden. Toss them or move them around the pan with a spatula to make sure they don’t burn. Once the almond flakes are golden, set them aside (on a plate) to cool down.
  • Cut the halloumi into bite-sized cubes. Then, to a pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry the halloumi until golden, turning the cubes as they get their golden color.
  • Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with the lemon juice, the finely chopped mint, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Toss the arugula with the olive oil, lemon juice, and mint dressing, and then place the arugula on a serving platter or in a serving bowl/salad bowl.
  • Cut the watermelon into cubes. Then, place the watermelon cubes and golden halloumi on top of the arugula.
  • Finish the salad by adding the toasted flaked almonds.
