Watermelon & Haloumi

with savoury granola

This beautiful combination of textures and gentle flavours definitely feels fresh and festive. The watermelon can be served fresh, or alternatively cut into thick wedges and grilled briefly on each side which caramelises the sugars and gives that extra depth of flavour. Haloumi is the perfect partner for watermelon as the flavour isn’t overpowering (and when is haloumi not a good idea?). The savoury granola adds an awesome crunch to the mix, and being a combination of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds and buckwheat, it provides a whole lot of nutrients into the mix as well.  This dish is a definite crowd pleaser, it looks beautiful and makes you look like a sophisticated culinary genius.
