Haloumi and Herby Watermelon Salad
A super fresh, super quick and super pretty addition to any of your entertaining summery meals this year. Use the best haloumi in the house, Eureka!
I love being a brand ambassador for European Foods...I get to play with all sorts of great ingredients, which is half the battle when it comes to taste I think. If you are starting off with average, it's pretty hard to get past that. So get the right ingredients from the start and see how much better everything tastes!
So when they asked me for another recipe for the award winning Eureka Haloumi, what could I do but jump at the chance. 'How can you go wrong with fried cheese?' I cried. You just can't!
So here is a super fresh, sooooo easy salad that will wow everyone, with the yin yang, sweet, salty and plenty of sex appeal. Enjoy.
