My husband and I needed something to nosh on. I made this recipe and it was simply delicious! It was easy, great balance of flavors. Can’t wait to make it again!
Always a crowd pleaser!
The first time I had this was at Lola and it is delish!
Very yummy. I poured a good quality balsamic vinegar over the watermelon.
can you do these ahead i.e. 1-2 hours before serving
I love halloumi, I love watermelon. I can’t wait to try this.
Delicious!! Couldn’t find halloumi so used firm feta instead.
We really enjoyed this dish!! Five stars
This is brilliant, flavorful and so easy to fix!
