Ingredients

Method

1.

Combine oil, vinegar and honey in a small jar. Screw on lid and shake well to combine. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

2.

Cut watermelon into thin wedges about 1cm thick and 7cm long, then arrange on a large serving platter.

3.

Preheat a barbecue grill plate to high or put a chargrill pan over a high heat. Cut haloumi into squares about 1cm thick and 4cm wide, then arrange on a baking tray. Drizzle with extra oil. Grill haloumi for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Arrange on top of watermelon wedges.

4.

Scatter onion, pomegranate arils, pistachios and mint leaves over watermelon wedges and haloumi, then drizzle over dressing. Season with black pepper and serve immediately.

TIPS:

* For a sweet option, first lose the vinegar, oil, onion, salt and pepper. Swap haloumi for Greek-style yoghurt and enjoy honey-melon with mint and nuts.

* Use salt-reduced haloumi to lower the sodium content
