Why I Love This Recipe

A fresh and healthy appetizer that's a known crowd pleaser


Ingredients You'll Need

1 teaspoon minced shallot

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Kosher salt

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

8 small wedges seedless watermelon, rind removed

8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 8 slices


Directions

Place the shallot and garlic in a mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Add the vinegar and honey and whisk. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil, then add the almonds and mint.


Place the watermelon in a shallow dish. Pour the dressing on top, cover and let marinate 1 hour in the refrigerator.


Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sear the halloumi 1 minute per side, then remove from the pan; top each with a piece of marinated watermelon.
