We’ve been smashing the watermelon of late. The boys love it as a midmorning or afternoon snack. But don’t be giving them any of that regular watermelon – no, they will only eat the seedless watermelon variety. How lucky to grow up in an age where we have seedless watermelon.
I keep telling them that the seeds aren’t that bad, but if they spy a seed, they go into full melt down and I’m left examining every piece and pulling out the seeds for them.
This simple salad combines the refreshing seedless watermelon, with sun-kissed tomatoes, grilled halloumi and herbs. And is just what the summer BBQ calls for…enjoy it whilst you can.
Recipe: Watermelon and Halloumi Salad
- 200 grams of watermelon

Slice the halloumi into 1cm thick pieces and then grill on the BBQ.
Cube the watermelon – making sure that it is seedless. Toss with the halved tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion and picked basil and mint. Top with the grilled halloumi.
Whisk together the oil, apple cider vinegar and seasoning. Drizzle over the salad and serve.
