Instructions
For the Mint Basil Vinaigrette
- Combine all the ingredients in a high powered blender and blend for 2 minutes until smooth. Adjust salt and pepper and set aside.
For the Salad
- Arrange the various melon on a large serving board.
- Drain the halloumi and cut it into cubes. Pat the cubes dry with paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the halloumi and cook for a few minutes without stirring, until the bottoms are well-browned. Turn the halloumi cubes with a pair of tongs, and brown them on the other sides.
- Transfer the seared cheese on top of the melon. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Can't find halloumi? Sometimes stores sell it under the name "bread cheese."
