Instructions
Cut the halloumi cheese into approximately 0.4-inch (1 cm) thick slices. Pat them dry with paper towels.

While the halloumi cools, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice and zest of one lime, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed watermelon and fresh mint leaves. You can tear larger mint leaves if desired.
Add the grilled halloumi slices to the bowl with the watermelon and mint. Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad.
Gently toss everything together to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing grilled halloumi salad!
