  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

  Halloumi cheese and watermelon is a very common combination in my country, Cyprus. Common but a very delicious combination!!!

  I add 2 teaspoons of mint jelly to the dressing and it gives it a nice lift to the dish.

  Delish and fresh - but confused. Freeze???? Surely the watermelon will turn to mush.

  AWESOME! I served it with the bacon wrapped halloumi which I found on this site. And then I added a tiny amount of chilli to the halloumi before wrapping it up. The combination worked extremely well, and I most definitely will do this again.

  I used reduced fat cheese - I think it would taste better with the full fat stuff.
