Watermelon, Halloumi & Super Seed Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing
Ingredients
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
  • A pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 pouch Merchant Gourmet 6 Super Seeds & Grains
  • 250g watermelon, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • ½ red onion, very finely sliced
  • 1 red chilli, thinly sliced
  • A large handful of fresh mint leaves, plus extra to serve
  • A small handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 250g halloumi, sliced into 1cm-thick pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Chilli flakes, to serve
  1. Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, chilli, garlic and sea salt in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then set aside while you prepare the salad.
  2. Tip the Merchant Gourmet Superseeds into a large serving bowl or platter and spread out evenly to create the base of the salad.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the halloumi in a single layer and cook for 1½–2 minutes on each side until deeply golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate and season lightly with flaky sea salt.
  4. Scatter the watermelon, red onion and sliced chilli over the Superseeds. Add the mint and parsley leaves.
  5. Arrange the warm halloumi on top, then drizzle over the chilli lime dressing.
  6. Finish with extra mint leaves, a pinch of chilli flakes and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving immediately.
