    This grilled watermelon halloumi salad is a refreshing summer dish. The sweet watermelon balances perfectly with the salty halloumi and balsamic mint dressing.

    A simple salad for summer that can be cooked on the BBQ or on a griddle pan. It's now firmly on my BBQ menu!

    Grilling watermelon was a first for us but it works so well and once you grill this fruit you may be inspired to try it with other ingredients, dressings or marinades. I want to try grilled watermelon in a spicy BBQ sauce next!

    IS WATERMELON LOW CARB?

    Watermelon can be enjoyed on a low carb diet as it has 7g net carbohydrates per 100g serving. As it is mainly water, it is a refreshing fruit for summer. Watermelon is also a good source of vitamin A & C.

    INGREDIENTS

    Just a few ingredients made this easy low carb watermelon salad. All you need is watermelon slices, halloumi cheese, mint and salad dressing ingredients. Clean simple ingredients.

    watermelon halloumi ingredients
    • Watermelon - Cut into slices and keep the rind on when grilling

    • Mint - Fresh mint leaves gives this dish a fresh summer taste.
    • Simple Salad dressing - Just olive oil, balsamic vinegar with salt and pepper make the dressing for this recipe.
