  2. On a platter, gently toss watermelon, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes

Notes

  • You can substitute mint for the basil leaves, or use a combination of both. 
  • When grilling halloumi, watch carefully, it browns quickly and can easily burn
  • Having everything ready when the halloumi comes off the grill ensures that it's still warm when served. 
  • To pan-fry halloumi instead of grilling, heat a skillet over high heat and fry oiled halloumi 1-2 minutes each side, or until browned
