1. Heat grill to high. Lay the cheese on a baking tray in a single layer, then grill for 2 mins on each side until golden. Toss the watermelon, beans and mint together with the lemon juice and olive oil, season well, then layer on plates with the slices of halloumi.
2. Drizzle with a little more oil if you like, and then serve with warm pittas.

  yum, this was so nice. I added some warm asparagus to it. The mint worked really well with all the other ingredients, I used the juice of 1/2 a lime as we were out of lemons but I'm sure that made no difference! Will definitely be making this again.

  Fantastic. I made it with feta cheese instead of Halloumi and it was just as delicious.

  Serve straight from the 'fridge on a hot day and it is wonderful. The hint of mint with the watermelon is a match made in heaven. cant wait for the summer to enjoy this again. After I have sliced the watermelon I toss that in the lemon and oil before adding the rest of the ingredients.

  Made this dish for supper tonight and my guests loved it. Substituted Piel de Sapo melon for the watermelon and it worked really well. Think serving it with soft brown bread would work well too
