Halloumi cheese has a high melting point, making it ideal for frying, resulting in a soft and chewy interior with a crisp, crispy exterior. In this summer salad, salty fried halloumi cubes perfectly complement the sweet, refreshing watermelon. Cut the watermelon into cubes the same size as the cheese for a neat look, top with chopped celery, and dress with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. All the salad ingredients complement each other harmoniously. This salad is a perfect appetizer with wine.
