Unexpected Combo

As is so often the case ….

The meals I make start with an ingredient I find in the supermarket - usually discounted and screaming to be rescued from oblivion.

This time it was Spicy Halloumi Fries.

Well… I didn’t want to eat them all by themselves. My experience of Halloumi has always been they ‘squeek’ when you eat them, in a strange rubbery way.

But I just thought they looked a bit lonely. So quick bit of research and I stumbled across a Halloumi and Water Melon salad.

Right …. really? I mean, do those things even go together? Ever? In any universe?

In for a penny in for a pound. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll unpick the ingredients and start again.

I popped the halloumi cheese into the Air Fryer.

Then prepped some fresh water melon… into thumb sized chunks. Tossed them in a little chilli infused olive oil and some Modena balsamic glaze, and some chopped mint.

Topped the melon with the Halloumi and then drizzled some more glaze across the top.

And ….

It just works … somehow. Like you’d least expect it.

Delish.
