I’ve had a strawberry and haloumi salad before and this sounds equally delicious.

YUM! We used to go to a local wine bar where they served something similar and I’ve posted about it on the blog but your salad is a cut above Raymund! By the way we always have haloumi in the fridge, the kids LOVE it.

I never thought of pairing cheese and watermelon. I wonder if we can find haloumi here. I’ve never heard of it. This looks delicious and perfect for this summer. 🙂

I have tried watermelon with feta before, which was fantastic, but I think grilled haloumi has just knocked that idea down 🙂
I have paired haloumi [which I also love!] with watermelon but not added tomatoes before . . . have to try!
I love haloumi, but I’ve never thought to pair it with watermelon. Yum!

I love watermelon with feta cheese but I’ve never had it with a grilled cheese. This looks like a really delicious salad. Can’t wait for the watermelon to start showing up in the markets, but it’s going to be a while. I’ll be pinning this one. Thanks!
